Our Mission
Bids for Kids is a charitable, volunteer-based organization that is committed to enriching the lives of children in the greater Erie area.
Our aim is to raise awareness and funds for Make-A-Wish, Shriners Hospitals for Children, the Erie Boys & Girls Club, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western PA through benefit events.
All proceeds go directly to the local children's organizations to promote health, well-being, and education while inspiring Erie and Pittsburgh area youth to fulfill their dreams.
Last Year's Event
The previous year's Bids for Kids was a definite success! Even with the many challenges the pandemic created, we raised over $185,000 with a completely virtual event!
Over the last 27 years, Bids for Kids has raised over 2 million dollars to support the local chapters of the Boys and Girls Club, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Shriners Hospital, so they can provide young girls and boys hope and comfort in their time of need.
Without the generosity of individuals and businesses, we would not be able to make this event a success!
