Our Event Sponsors and supporters:
See a complete list of our sponsors here. We are honored by their generosity and humbled by their commitment to ensuring that Allegheny County children experiencing homelessness are receiving the very best educational support and opportunities that are their rights by federal law.

All proceeds from the silent auction directly support the educational programming that provides "hope through learning" for the children who will be homeless in Allegheny County at some time during 2012-13.
