Illuminate Lives with Your Generosity at the ECS Moonlight Ball Silent Auction

When you donate an item for the Silent Auction at the ECS Moonlight Ball, you’re not just contributing to an event—you’re uplifting the over 10,000 children and adults impacted by ECS every year. Your donation helps fund life-changing programs, providing shelter, support, and opportunities to thrive. Each donated item symbolizes hope and community care, creating ripples that transform lives.

How Your Donation Creates Lasting Change

Every item you donate creates an impact that extends far beyond the auction table.

 
 

  • Your donation shows compassion for neighbors like Faith, who, after experiencing homelessness, now have housing, food, and support services at our C-HRT and Uptown Safe Havens.

  • Your donation gives love to families and children like Sandra's as they receive life-changing behavioral health services at ECS Para Las Familas.

  • Your donation provides a new path forward for transition-aged youth and adults like Deangelo as they overcome addiction and substance use disorders at the Central East Regional Recovery Center and the ACCORD DUI Program.

Your contribution is a powerful catalyst for change, uplifting our community and inspiring hope in those who need it most.
