Silent Auction and Raffle Baskets

 

Generous donors are contributing a wide variety of items for the Name Your Game Day silent auction/raffle baskets.  These unique baskets include handmade ceramics, quilts, and sweaters, theater tickets, jewelry, entertaining must-haves, and many more things you will want for yourself or to give as gifts.

One of  many contributors, Patty Kealoha is preparing a new basket which will be filled with healthy food and wellness resources. After Patty recently met in Scottsdale with Dr. Michael Jacobson and his assistant Kelli Burke-Knox from Washington, D.C.,  they generously contributed a year’s subscription to Nutrition Action Healthletter to the lucky person who wins Patty’s health and wellness basket.

Since it was founded by Dr. Michael Jacobson and two other scientists in 1971, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has embraced its role as the organized voice of the American public on nutrition, food safety and other health issues.  Along with its advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill, CSPI provides consumers with current, useful information about their health and well-being by publishing the Nutrition Action Healthletter (NAH), publishing reports, and speaking out in the media.  Nutrition Action, which is the world’s largest-circulation health newsletter with 800,000 subscribers, provides readers (and journalists) with objective health information, including tips on how to reduce calories, saturated fat, and sodium from the diet and which packaged foods are the most healthful – all measures that help improve the health of readers and their families.
