Financial support for projects and programs is made possible by corporate sponsorships, community grants, and Junior League fundraisers, including the Annual Wine Tasting & Silent Auction and the Used Book Sale. Through their efforts to raise money for the Junior League and its projects, League members are able to refine many of the fundraising skills essential to any organization.
