2020 TEAM Fundraiser to benefit over 20 nonprofits from around Greater Lowell!
CBA has been invited to participate in a unique fundraiser that showcases, and benefits, non-profits from across Greater Lowell.
Thanks to the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce and Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union, you have the opportunity to browse auction items that showcase Lowell’s uniqueness and support CBA as we strive to address inequities and find opportunities for advocacy in our new normal.
You can support CBA’s mission in a three ways…

Important note, while the auction closes July 30th, the donate button will stay live until Wednesday, August 5th.
2. Share the auction and your “why” with your networks. Of course, all of these organizations do excellent work, but sharing why CBA’s mission speaks to you will go a long way in attracting bids.
