There are three days left to participate in an auction fundraiser benefiting Family Building Blocks.

The annual fundraiser has raised more than $4 million to prevent child abuse and neglect in Marion and Polk counties.

On May 15 at 7:30 p.m., there is a livestream event titled “An Evening with the Roses,” where community members are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters from the show Schitt’s Creek.

There will be a costume contest held on social media where everyone can participate by posting photos dressed as their favorite characters on Instagram with #uncorkedliveauction or Facebook tagging @familybuildingblockssalem. Participants will be entered to win a YETI cooler with high-end goodies, Rose Apothecary gift bags, and more. Learn more and sign up to participate at https://familybuildingblocks.org/uncorkedlive
