‘Bids for Kids’ Auction

Family Support Line will host its annual Bids for Kids fund-raising event on March 2 at 6 p.m. at the Drexelbrook Corporate Events Center in Drexel Hill.

This event, which annually attracts 250 guests, will feature fine artwork and crafts created by local artists in addition to a range of silent auction items. Family Support Line is currently welcoming attendees, corporate sponsors, consignment artists and silent auction donations to once again make the event a success.

A new addition this year is the opportunity for guests to bid on three outstanding trips: a three-night Las Vegas trip; a four-night, golfing-themed trip to Scotland, and a four-night Sonoma wine-themed trip.
