The 2024 Challenge is comprised of local businesses, organizations and friends and families who create teams in support of the Greater Lakes Region Children's Auction. Working on behalf of the children and families here in our community, these committed teams creatively fundraise their way to Closing Ceremonies, where coveted awards await the top teams in this friendly but spirited challenge.
100% of the funds raised through The Challenge pass directly to the Greater Lakes Region Children's Auction. Their mission is to support children in need with a vision to ensure that every child is empowered to succeed and positively impact a thriving Greater Lakes Region community.
Thank You for Your Support
