ABLTC Foundation Holds Virtual Silent & Live Auctions
The ABLTC Foundation will host its 13th Annual Silent Auction to benefit its mission of helping adversely affected groups of people statewide virtually.
The Virtual Silent Auction begins on Thursday, September 17 with the virtual LIVE EVENT set for Thursday, September 24, starting at 7:00 pm. The LIVE EVENT will run until 8:00 pm.
According to ABLTC Foundation’s General Manager Keri Salinger, funds raised through its annual signature event helps the most vulnerable people in the state. The Foundation achieves this through supporting programs, services, outreach and support to the elderly, disabled and neglected.
“Your generosity helps to protect the rights of mothers, fathers, grandparents and all elderly and disabled individuals who are victims of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation while receiving long-term care services in Rhode Island,” she explained.
The event was initially scheduled to happen during the spring. However, due to the ongoing pandemic and subsequent complications associated with social distancing and maintaining large crowds, the decision was made to make this event virtual.
Those who sign up for the virtual silent auction will have a chance to bid on unique baskets and packages, including gift baskets filled with gift cards to local merchants, restaurants, services and more. There are a few great raffle drawings and some “Buy Now” items as well, according to Salinger.
Participants who register and attend the LIVE EVENT are also eligible to one of several door prizes through drawings throughout the evening. There will be Premium Auction items that will be up for bid during the LIVE EVENT, among them include: a Foxwoods Getaway for Two that includes a dinner and show of the winner’s choosing, a one-week getaway to Simpson Bay Royal Resort in St. Maarten (Dutch side) and a seven-day trip for four to Italy.
Besides entering the raffle and auction, people are also encouraged to make a one-time donation through the website. Salinger said any amount helps in forwarding the mission and reaching their financial goals.
Companies may also sponsor the Silent Auction in varying levels. Platinum Level ($2,000) includes eight raffle entries, Premium ad placement and Facebook recognition. Gold Level ($1,500) includes six raffle entries, Home Page ad placement and Facebook recognition. Silver Level ($1,000) includes four raffle entries, Item Page ad placement and Facebook recognition. Bronze Level ($500) includes two raffle entries, Item Page ad placement and Facebook recognition.
For $200, individuals, families and companies may take out an Event Page Advertisement. Images need to be in either .JPEG, PNG or GIF format.

BUSINESS EXPERT DEDICATED TO SERVING NEWPORT COUNTY ANNOUNCED
Providing greater access to expertise and resources at crucial time
KINGSTON, RI (June 24, 2020) — The Rhode Island Small Business Development Center is proud to announce the creation of a new, full-time position dedicated to Newport County small businesses. The Newport Area Regional Director will help area small businesses launch, stabilize, and grow, capitalizing on the many strengths of this beautiful and important economic hub at this crucial time. Accomplished business expert Paul Harden, who is also a longtime Newport resident, will pioneer the position, effective immediately. Harden will work with businesses located in Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, Tiverton, Little Compton, Bristol and Warren.
The Rhode Island Small Business Development Center (RISBDC) provides small business owners in the state with the services and expertise they need to succeed: no-cost expert counseling, relevant training, and access to vital resources. The RISBDC supports businesses at every stage, from start-up through maturity, and continues to support small businesses throughout the COVID crisis.
“It is critical that the business community has a strong resource now more than ever to survive and thrive during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and moving forward into the future,” said Ed Huttenhower, Executive State Director of the RISBDC. “Paul will provide the type of assistance that will help the small business community accomplish this.”
“Having a skilled and knowledgeable regional director and business advisor who can dedicate all of his time to this area of the state will help many businesses get through these difficult times and prepare for future opportunities,” said Diane Fournaris, Associate State Director of the RISBDC.
Harden joined the RISBDC in 2018 and quickly established himself as a valuable part of the team. With more than 30 years of experience with economic development in the Ocean State, working in a wide range of companies both in scope and size, he brings a common-sense approach to business problem solving that is especially needed now. Harden has in-depth knowledge about a variety of industries, including the marine industry, and understands the Newport/East Bay market and what it takes for businesses located in this area to be successful. He is Chair of the City of Newport’s Waterfront Commission and is on the Executive Board as Treasurer of the RI Marine Trades Association. Funding for the position comes from the CARES Act.
The RISBDC’s business counselors cover the entire state, with headquarters on the University of Rhode Island campus in Kingston, plus outreach office locations in Providence, Lincoln, Warwick, Middletown, Westerly, and Warren. The RISBDC is currently offering a variety of virtual workshops at no cost to small business owners and entrepreneurs that address current small business needs and issues.
