Chair Success!

Hello Everyone,

After all the build-up, we just wanted to let you know the outcome of "Sitting Pretty", our chair auction this past weekend.

What a great community event! We had a terrific turnout, estimated at around 200 people from across the Freeport community and the surrounding area. We received tremendous support from individuals who donated food; there were options for every palate! Additionally, local businesses Wicked Whoopies, Antonia's Pizzeria, and The Corsican Restaurant donated food for the evening.

We were really thankful to welcome Kaja Veilleux as our live auctioneer, which brought a lot of fun to the event.

In the end, The PORT was able to raise over $10,000 through the sales of tickets, the raffle, and the live and silent auction. We are thankful for everyone's support, and hope to host another great event next year!
