About the Auction:
The Ivymount Benefit Auction attracts more than 500 guests from the corporate, government, and educational communities of the Washington D.C. area. The event consists of a silent auction, live auction, and seated dinner and presentation.
The funds raised from the Auction support all of Ivymount's programs for children and young adults. With these funds, Ivymount is able to develop and expand programs, increase staff training and enrichment, and create new environments for students to learn.
