March 20, 2024

The Ignite Durham Learning Foundation, organizers of the Make Tomorrow Brighter Auction, are thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of this year's event, thanks to the incredible support from sponsors, donors, and auction participants within our community.

With gratitude, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all who contributed to the success of the third-annual Make Tomorrow Brighter online auction. Your generosity helped us to raise more than $40,000, a remarkable achievement that will have a significant impact on children and youth throughout the Durham Region, during their time of need. 

This year's auction highlighted more than 600 unique items, services, and packages generously donated by our vibrant local businesses and individuals. From coveted prizes like NHL tickets to Golf tickets and an exclusive Chef's Tasting Experience, the lineup was nothing short of extraordinary. 

"We are immensely grateful for the outpouring of support from our community," said Stacey Lepine-Fisher, Executive Director of Ignite Durham Learning Foundation. "Together, we have demonstrated the power of unity and kindness, making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most." 

The success of the Make Tomorrow Brighter Auction underscores the unwavering commitment of our community to come together for a common cause. Through your generosity, our staff and community members have not only raised funds but also provided hope and opportunities for a brighter future for Durham's children and youth. 

We extend our deepest gratitude to all sponsors, donors, and auction participants for your invaluable support. Your contributions have truly made a difference in the lives of others, and we look forward to continuing our mission of removing financial barriers to create equitable opportunities that empower students to achieve academic and personal success.
