A Yearly Tradition
The Shrine’s Annual Fundraiser, known over the years by several names, has always been a fun event that has contributed to balancing the budget, accomplishing projects, covering unforeseen expenses, and, at times, putting money away for long-term financial stability.
The fundraiser has three parts:
Items will be open for bid January 18 @ 8 am thru February 1, 2025 @ 8 pm.
You can help by donating items and bidding during the auction.
Donate items to the auction. Items can be dropped off with Joe at the Shrine office (907) 789-9815 or call Barb at (907) 465-9569 or email bbonner212@gmail.com to arrange pickup or dropoff of items.
Outside Juneau but wish to donate items? You are welcome to send us a photo of the item and suggested value. You can hang onto the item until the winner of the item is known. We will then give you the shipping information, and you can ship it to the winner, rather than the item being shipped twice.
Buffet Dinner
Dinner will be prepared by the Shrine Board and include Salad, Entrée, Vegetables and Bread. The dinner has no set fee - free will offerings are welcome.
Dessert Auction
Leave room for some awesome dessert! Funds from the Dessert Auction help keep the Shrine beautiful!
If you don't need any auction items but want to help the Shrine, this part of the fundraiser is for you! Every $1 you donate to the fundraiser = $3 to the Shrine. Jim Wilcox started the match program several years ago. This year, another family, who wish to remain anonymous, have matched Jim's match. These two families will each match dollar for dollar up to $10,000 for each dollar donated to the fundraiser.
If we receive $10,000 in donations, another $10,000 will be donated by the Wilcox Family and another $10,000 by a family who wish to remain anonymous.
Matching gifts could bring as much as $30,000 to the Shrine for the 2025 Fundraiser.
To make a matching donation, make a donation on our Donate page.
Volunteers, the Backbone of the Shrine!
From the beach stones gathered that make up the walls of the Shrine Chapel to the plants that grace the Marian and Biblical Gardens, all are the work of volunteers giving their time for the greater glory of God. Are you being called to this work?
