China Earthquake Relief |
|
Hundreds of items including ancient Chinese coins, stamps, antiques, art and local gift certificates will be on silent auction from 7-9 p.m. on June 12 at China Town Restaurant. The event, held exactly one month after the May 12 earthquake in China that killed more than 69,127 people and left more than 4.5 million people homeless, is a fundraiser for the American Red Cross’s humanitarian relief work in the region.
Sponsor China Town Restaurant is still accepting auction items and gift cards, as well as corporate and individual donations. All checks should be payable to the American Red Cross for its China Earthquake Relief Fund. Every dollar received will go to the American Red Cross for relief efforts. |
