2009 Arts Auction

Welcome to Centerpoint’s 2009 Express Yourself Arts Auction!

A HUGE thank you to all who planned, volunteered for, participated in, attended and contributed to Centerpoint’s annual fundraiser, the Express Yourself! Arts Auction on Sunday, October 11 from 1 to 4 PM.

We had over 100 items valued at more than $11,000. Wow! Much appreciation to all of our generous donors. While Centerpoint considers the event a success, it appears that the beautiful, sunny day in Seattle may have detered some attendance; we are still about $2,000 away from our ultimate goal. It’s still not too late to donate!

If you missed the auction, no worries! We will be placing some great items on this website that didn’t find owners so you can still purchase them and make a contribution to Centerpoint. Stay tuned and keep checking back!

Donations Needed

Whether or not you were able to attend the auction, we invite you to make a monetary donation. Donations of any amount are welcome; we invite you to support Centerpoint with a generous gift of $50, $100, or $250 (or more)!

Help Those in Transition: Donate to Our New Scholarship Fund

Many people who need our services are in transition and are unemployed. They can’t easily afford even our reasonably set fees and tuition. By establishing a scholarship fund these clients can have access to Centerpoint’s resources and support during these stressful times. (A hallmark of this fund is to ask those who have benefitted by it to replenish their scholarship amount when they are able so that this can be passed along to future people in transition. Like paying it forward!) All amounts are welcome to the fund; the more generous you can be, the more people you can assist!

All payments are processed by PayTrace, LLC, our secure payment processor. If you prefer to make a payment by phone, please call our office instead of using this form. Thanks!
