Proceeds from the Share the Light Auction will support the work of World Vision in Mongolia, helping abandoned, abused, and runaway children who live in tunnels under the streets of Ulaanbaatar; in Cambodia, bringing healing and hope to children rescued from the sex trade and for children living on the streets; in Mozambique, bringing AIDS prevention education to 700,000 at-risk youth and adults; and in Honduras, providing a microenterprise program for the entrepreneurial poor, mostly women seeking a better life for their children. Women of Vision is also committed to helping in our local community and supports The Children's Relief Nursery in North Portland as they bring help to children ages birth to four at risk of abuse and neglect.

The amount of your ticket/table purchase is tax-deductible minus the $45 ($60 for Gold sponsors) cost of meals consumed by you or your spouse.
