The Tennessee Center for Child Welfare at MTSU, in conjunction with the Tennessee Foster and Adoptive Care Association, is seeking donations for a silent auction to benefit the association scholarship fund.

All foster children in Tennessee are eligible to apply to the fund. The scholarships are used to help defray the cost of sending foster children to camps where they can enjoy basketball, band, cheerleading and other activities.

The auction will be held at the Tennessee Foster and Adoptive Care Association Middle Grand Regional Conference, which is slated for Saturday, Oct. 1, and Sunday, Oct. 2, at the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs in Franklin, Tenn. The deadline to make donations is Tuesday, Sept. 27.

Contributions may be deposited at the Tennessee Center for Child Welfare office in the Bank of America building in Murfreesboro. For more information, or to arrange pick-up of the items, contact Sherry Preston at 615-494-7795 or sherry.preston@tccw.org.
