It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of the 2021 4-H Benefit Auction. Please save the date of February 19, 2022 for the 2022 4-H Benefit Auction. We are certain it will be the best one yet!

We know that this announcement will come as a disappointment, not only to our 4-H families but also to the 4-H community that supports this event, including our buyers, donors, auctioneers and volunteers.

This is not a decision we have taken lightly and there are two overriding concerns that have caused us to make this decision at this time; the health and safety of our 4-H families and community, as well as the economic welfare of our 4-H community businesses.

To support our 4-H families we have waived all 2020-2021 enrollment fees for all 2019-2020 returning 4-H members. Although we have made great strides in our fundraising events over the past few years, we know we will still need to raise some additional funds to cover this cost. We are optimistic that we can find a way to do so without the benefit auction this year.

If you would like to make a monetary donation to the Lancaster County 4-H Program, please make checks payable to: Penn State University.

Mail to: Penn State Extension, Lori Little, 1383 Arcadia Road, Room 140, Lancaster, PA 17601.

Thank you for your understanding and your support!
