On the evening of March 17, 2018 Orphans Africa celebrated our 9^th annual Orphans Africa Benefit Dinner and Auction and the many ways you have helped Orphans Africa grow. This marvelous benefit was packed with a multitude of new guests and long-term friends of OA. The evening was hosted by legendary Northwest Sportscaster who has a 17 year background in Seattle broadcasting and 13 years with KCPQ (Fox Television), Mr. Keith Shipman. Our auctioneer, Mari Neubauer, with Keith made this a lively event including the dessert dash and live auction rounds, helping the auction gross over $90,000. These funds will be used towards a variety of OA projects, including a Drilled Water Well at the Isandula Center, a Library, and the building of an Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Program at Mwaji Secondary School. 

Many thanks to Vail, Cross-Euteneier & Associates for being our highest paying sponsors for this year’s Benefit Dinner and Auction. We would also like to thank our auction committee and the volunteers for a successful evening, and YOU…the OA supporters and donors who gave so generously. You made a BIG impact in the lives of Tanzanian orphans! THANK YOU!
