In an ongoing effort to support the missions of the Up with People International Alumni Association and Up with People, we will once again be presenting items for silent auction bidding during Annual Alumni Week (AAW), and prize draws before and during AAW in Limerick.

Funds raised will benefit the UWPIAA to support our new initiatives and affiliates.

Bidding will happen online and onsite in Limerick.

If you have something to donate, Brenda Moran (’77C) and Pat Berry-Glassner (’69B) are coordinating, please contact them at silentauction@uwpiaa.org.
