Live Auction & Paddle Raise
Following the live auction with Tom Stebbins, (see below for items), we’ll hold a paddle raise to directly fund The Paula Forman Futures Fund which helps PTEN graduates take their next step, whether that’s college, community college, or career training in the trades.
It’s a small investment that can change the trajectory of a life.
