Silent Auction: 5:00PM - 8:00PM (benefiting the Salinas Jaycees Children's Shopping Tour)

• Bring your checks/cash for our silent auction! All proceeds will go toward the Salinas Jaycees Children's Shopping Tour. The Salinas Jaycees started the Children's Shopping Tour with the goal of making a difference in the lives of underprivileged children in Salinas. In 1951, twenty children were chaperoned to stores where they picked the clothes and shoes they wanted, but could not afford before the Shopping Tour. Since then they've worked hard year after year to develop their fundraising and event management so that they could take additional children shopping and give more to each participating child. Last year, over four hundred and fifty children were taken shopping for much-needed new clothing and shoes.
