Getting involved in your community isn't always easy so we've made it simple for you to find relevant and meaningful volunteer opportunities that fit your busy lifestyle.

The Timeraiser is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town. Throughout the evening meet with different agencies and match your skills to their needs.

Once you have made your matches, you are eligible to bid on artwork. The big twist is rather than bid money, you bid volunteer hours.

If you have the winning bid you have 12 months to complete your pledge with the agency(s) of your choice before bringing the artwork home as a reminder of your goodwill.

It is our hope that the evening is the beginning of a life-long journey for you and your friends. A journey that plants the seed to make your civic footprint - a contribution of your time and money to causes that are important to you - as big as possible.
