The Staff Senate $1 Community Yard Sale
One person's clutter could be someone's $1 find!
The Staff Senate Fundraising Committee hosts the $1 Community Yard Sale to raise funds for Senate initiatives, including AppKIDS and Staff & Dependent Scholarships. Donated items are sold for just $1 each, giving gently used items a new home while supporting the Mountaineer community.
This event has been postponed. More information, including a new date and time, will be announced at a future date. For questions or concerns, please contact Tammie Gelderman or Theresa Makdad.
Silent Auctions
The App State's Staff Senate hosts two Silent Auctions each year — one in the spring and one in the fall — to support important staff and community causes. Proceeds from the spring auction benefit AppKIDS, a long-standing program that helps local children in need. The fall auction supports Staff Scholarships, which provide financial assistance to App State staff members pursuing educational goals.
50/50 Raffle
The Staff Senate 50/50 Raffle benefits App State's Staff Senate Scholarships! By purchasing raffle tickets, you'll be supporting fellow staff and dependents to achieve their educational goals.
