REACHING OUT: GISIMBA ORPHANAGE SILENT AUCTION ONGOING UNTIL JUNE 2

REPUBLIC and Create For A Cause's charity event, REACHING OUT: GISIMBA ORPHANAGE was a huge success and we want to thank you all for coming out and supporting the efforts to help raise money for the children at Gisimba Memorial Centre. One of the main efforts in reaching our donation goal was the extensive silent auction. It's still open until Tuesday, June 2 and you can check out the items here (with the current bid information) or on Chrissie Lam's website, Create For A Cause. In order to make bids on any of the items that catch your eye, email Chrissie at Chrissie@createforacause.com.

We really hope you'll participate because all proceeds go straight to Gisimba Memorial Centre to help fund the children's education, food, and health care.
