Light of Hope Online Auction Fundraiser

Light of Hope Auction

"After my father died, it felt like my life was over; I didn't know how I could go on living. At the Caring Place, I found the light of hope."
— Megan, 14, Caring Place participant

Thank you to everyone for your support of our third annual Highmark Caring Place Light of HOPE Online Auction!

Thanks to our Sponsors, our Donors, and all those who placed bids on our Auction Items! And to everyone whose gifts were in memory or in honor of someone special to them.

The Light of HOPE Auction raises awareness and funds for the Highmark Caring Place, with proceeds helping to bring the Light of HOPE to the lives of children grieving the death of a loved one. To help even more children, Highmark Inc. matches all proceeds dollar for dollar, allowing us to offer all services at no cost to the families.

Although the bidding has come to an end for this year's auction, you can still help support children and families in need. Please consider supporting the children through a monetary donation. Donate now!

Please contact Michelle Vargas at the Highmark Caring Foundation at (412) 544-1679 or michelle.vargas@highmark.com if you have any questions, or to learn more about how your donation makes an impact on grieving children, like Megan who is quoted above.

Thank you to our Sponsors!
