“When I engaged in the volunteer work, even when it was for as little as 15 minutes, it felt like I had more free time in my life. Suddenly there was extra time for other things too.”
Timeraiser is an auction where attendees bid volunteer time, not dollars, for original art. In addition to supporting emerging artists, Timeraiser aims to foster and celebrate volunteerism in local communities.
