Catie's Gathering - Bryan

06/06/2026

🎗️ The donations are starting to roll in for Catie's Gathering 2026, and we are so incredibly grateful!

Just look at this table full of generosity already. ❤️ These items represent friends, family members, local businesses, and even complete strangers who have chosen to support this cause. Some have cleaned out brand-new items they never used, others have handcrafted beautiful pieces, some have gone shopping specifically for Catie's Gathering, and others have simply asked, "How can I help?"

While this is an amazing start, this is truly just scratching the surface of what we'll need to make this year's event a success.

Because Catie's Gathering is being held a month earlier than usual, we're working on a much quicker timeline and need your help now more than ever. Every donation - big or small - helps us raise funds for CURE Childhood Cancer and support children and families battling pediatric cancer.

We're currently looking for:
✨ Gift baskets & gift cards
✨ New, unused items from your home
✨ Handcrafted items
✨ Home & seasonal décor
✨ Restaurant experiences
✨ Event tickets & weekend getaways
✨ Children's items & toys
✨ Hunting, fishing, sports, or outdoor items
✨ Unique experiences and one-of-a-kind ideas

Don't underestimate what you have to offer. Some of our most loved auction items have come from someone simply saying, "I think I have something that could help."

If you'd like to donate an item, service, or experience, please send us a message. Together, we can continue making a difference for children and families facing childhood cancer. 💛

Thank you for helping us turn generosity into hope.

🎗️💛

🩶❤️ DONATIONS NEEDED ❤️🩶

Catie’s Gathering is quickly approaching, and we are actively collecting donations for our silent and live auctions benefiting childhood cancer research through CURE Childhood Cancer.

Every item donated helps us raise funds for families and children fighting battles no child should ever have to face.

We are currently looking for:

— handmade items
— local business donations
— sports tickets or experiences
— vacation stays

If you have a unique idea (think: Principal for a Day, leading the Christmas parade, VIP school parking spots, ride to school in a fire truck, or fun small-town experiences), we would absolutely love to hear it! Some of the best auction items are experiences and memories that bring our small community together while supporting an incredible cause. ❤️

No donation is too small - and every contribution truly makes a difference.

The donations are already starting to roll in and we just had to share these ❤️🖤🤍

A hand-painted UGA door sign and a concrete Bulldog statue - both absolutely BEA-UTIFUL and already set aside for this year’s auction!

We are so grateful for the generosity that continues to come in from our community. It’s what makes this event so special year after year.

With this year’s event taking place almost a month earlier than usual, we are already in full planning mode and actively collecting donations.

We are currently accepting:
• new, unused items
• themed gift baskets
• gift cards (restaurants, shopping, services, etc.)
• experiences (hunting trips, beach stays, date nights, lessons, etc.)
• trips or weekend getaways
• larger or high-value items
• and even simple items or contributions - it all adds up in a big way

If you or your business would like to donate or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, we would truly appreciate your support. Every contribution plays a role in making this event impactful for the families we serve.

Last year, this community helped raise over $170,000 - and we are hopeful to make an even greater impact this year.
