Silent Auction

For the past 13 years, a major undertaking for the Bluesfest organization has been delivering its highly successful Blues in the Schools (BITS) program.

In January 2009, we launched our new ‘Be in the Band’ initiative. Since then, the organization has expanded this program to include at-risk youth in various communities.

Many community-minded organizations show their support for these music education programs through contributions to our ever-popular Silent Auction, held on-site in ‘Bluesville’ during the festival. In 2011, we held another successful Silent Auction and continued growth of our community programs.

If you’d like to be added to this community-minded list of 2012 donors, contact Volunteer Services at volunteers3@ottawafolk.com for a Silent Auction donor package.
