OUR HOBSON, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR FUTURE
EVERY DONATION, EVERY AMOUNT, IS VALUABLE
Hobson needs your support now more than ever! This means you can still help us raise a significant amount of money for Hobson from the comfort of your own home. We are aiming to raise $40,000 for our school! Please create your own Hobson Social night on April 19th with friends and family (at a safe distance, of course!) and log on to bid on some of the amazing items that were donated for the event. We appreciate everyone who has worked so hard this year to support us and make this event a success – especially all of our generous donors and sponsors.
Below is all of the information you will need to know to begin bidding and get involved!
Onward together!
