The list of silent auction winners is available here!

The Spring Auction is EJF's largest fundraising event of the year, and one of GW's most well-attended social events. The auction gives a large number of volunteers the opportunity to solicit donations from faculty and community sponsors, which our volunteer faculty auctioneers then sell to the highest bidder to raise money for summer public service grants. This year's auction will be on Thursday, April 2nd, 2009.
