Children's Fund Auctions.... (CFA)

One of the most important and exciting events at any Sasha Festival is the Children’s Fund Auction (known as the CFA).

This year as at previous Festivals, ALL the proceeds will be donated to various children’s charities, to honour the charitable and anthropological work of Sasha Morgenthaler. Please give generously to her memory.

Donating an item to the CFA is a way that both attendees at the Festival and those who are unable to attend can participate in the Auction. There will be some wonderful, ‘one of a kind’ Sasha items, including special Sasha dolls and beautiful clothing etc. made by many of the finest Sasha seamstresses. This year Pat Pellerito has agreed to be our auctioneer.

If you feel able to donate items we shall be very grateful. Please send a photo and a brief description to Dawn Law dawn.law@virgin.net so that they may be included in the auction catalogue.

Helper Items

These are donations which are sized for Sasha or Sasha related. These items are raffled as a means of helping to defray the costs of the Festival which are not covered by your registration fee; and to provide ‘seed money’ for future Festivals. All Helper items are greatly appreciated and can be donated by Festival attendees or by those unable to attend the Festival, but would like to play a part. These items can be shipped to Dawn Law.

How YOU can help!

As you probably know, without volunteers, there would be no Sasha Festivals. Volunteers are needed in many areas, both prior and during the Festival. If you feel you can help in any way, with registrations, the CFA, the contests, the Helper items or as a table hostess, we shall be very grateful. Please indicate this on your registration form.
