❗️THIS WEEKEND❗️ Franklin & Marshall College Alumni Association, students, parents, and FPS alike: join us for our Annual True Blue Fummer’s Silent Auction! We will be virtually auctioning off item baskets—gift cards, original artwork, poetry anthologies, a baking workshop, and so much more—donated from numerous individuals, organizations, and businesses. Bidding will be continuous throughout the weekend, starting this Friday and closing at the end of the day Sunday. Check back often to see whether you need to raise your bid!

This year, we have chosen for proceeds to go to the Franklin & Marshall's Black Student Union - BSU Unapologetic Blacktivism Fund, as it will benefit various local and national 501c3 organizations that work towards racial equity.

We will also be hosting a live event on Saturday from 2:30-3:30 to answer questions and say hello, feel free to pop by!

Be sure to check out what’s up for grabs and place your bids! Thank you for supporting the BSU Unapologetic Blacktivism Fund!
