"We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit."

About our Project

Our project was inspired by the courageous actions of a young family in our community, who has shown amazing strength and resiliency, as their child has battled cancer over the past few years. This young boy, Zach, has undergone a bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, and radiation and has been away from his family and friends for months during his fight. Through it all, both he and his brother and sister, have continued to hold their heads high and keep a positive attitude. As a result of their situation and the time taken away from the childhood of these children, this family has provided us with the mission of designing a place where ‘kids can just be kids’. This is something that Zach and his siblings want and our community has embraced this project and is working together to make their dreams a reality.

Terms & Conditions:

The GEMS PTA Silent Auction runs 03/26/07 through 05/05/07.  Items will be awarded to the highest bidder as of midnight 05/05/07, unless otherwise noted.  (Some auctions for items end early do to expiration dates.)  All bidders will receive a confirmation e-mail stating their bid 24/48 hrs. after placing it.  Should there be a tie for the highest bid, each bidder will be allowed to make a best and final offer.  If a tie remains after the best and final, the winner will be determined by a random drawing of the highest bidders.  For those items where there are multiple quantities, items will be awarded to the top bidders.  For example, if two sets of movie tickets are available, the top two bidders will each be awarded a set. 

If shipping charges are necessary for any item, we will ask that the winner cover the shipping expenses.
