TAUNY ONLINE AUCTION FUNDRAISER WAS A SUCCESS!

A special Online Auction to raise funds for TAUNY has successfully concluded, raising a total of $8,159 for the organization. The two-week effort, organized by TAUNY’s Board of Directors, featured a wide range of arts and crafts, handmade wares, gift cards, and unique North Country experiences. All offerings were donated by individuals and businesses across the region. All proceeds will support TAUNY and its programs at the TAUNY Center in Canton and across the North Country and Adirondacks. According to Executive Director Jill Breit, “We are all thrilled with the results, and with the generosity of so many people. It’s our hope that this new event will grow into an annual tradition that raises needed funds for our organization and programs.”

Individuals who were high bidders in the auction will be contacted in the coming days about how to collect their prizes.

TAUNY is the only organization in New York’s North Country dedicated to showcasing the folk culture and living traditions of the region. With archives, exhibits, and programs in Canton and throughout the North Country and Adirondacks, TAUNY celebrates the diversity of living traditions inherited from the past, maintained in the present, and passed on to the future.
