Thank you for considering donating an auction item to help make the 2026 LifeWorks fundraising banquet fun and successful! We’re planning to host both a silent and live auction, so the more creative the items, the better!
The 2026 LifeWorks Fundraising Banquet is all about funding the life-changing work happening right here in Carlisle. At the heart of the evening is a silent auction where attendees will bid on unique items and experiences. Every dollar raised goes directly to LifeWorks, funding the programs and services that make a real difference in people’s lives. The success of the auction depends entirely on the generosity of donors like you, and every item donated helps make the night special and the impact real!
How it works:
Complete the Signup Form Below — Complete the donation form below to tell us about your item. We’ll use this information to prepare for your donation and make sure everything is ready for the big night.
Drop Off Your Item — Bring your item to LifeWorks inside New Life Community Church, 64 E North Street, Carlisle PA 17013 by Thursday, March 26. If you’re donating a basket and want our team to shop or arrange it for you, just note that in the form and we’ll handle it.
Get Recognized — We’ll proudly display your business name, business cards, or an “in honor of” dedication alongside your item at the event. Just let us know your preference in the form and include your business cards with your drop-off!
