Kindering's 27th Annual (Virtual) Auction Gala was held via Live Broadcast on our YouTube channel. Though we couldn't celebrate together, the evening was full of heart-warming and inspirational moments from Kindering staff and families, and we got to say hello via Zoom to our CEO and a small party of board members and donors from her home.  Thanks to our incredible sponsors, donors, and bidders, the auction raised over  $500,000  for Kindering's children and their families.  We heard from three families whose children receive different services and are impacted in different ways. They all found help and hope at Kindering.  Did you miss the event? Watch all the auction fun here! A special thank you to our incredible sponsors for our 2021 Auction Gala!
