BSF
is hosting the 6th Annual Native Arts Auction. The auction will
be held in November. Last year the auction raised a record $13,000.
We hope to exceed that amount in 2008. This can be made a reality
with the help of people like you. All proceeds go to the scholarship
program which provides students with funding for higher education.
BSF is seeking volunteers and donations. If you want to show the
youth of the Bering Strait your commitment to higher education,
supporting this auction is a great way to let it be known. Please
contact BSF for more
information or to volunteer for the event.
