Luther Crest is excited to be hosting our second Summer Fest and Auction July 26, 2025! Following the success of our festival and auction last year, for our 80th Anniversary, we are going bigger than ever with an online auction, a family festival, and our live auction down by the Luther Crest waterfront. More information will come out shortly about the auctions, festival, and connected alumni reunion. We look forward to seeing all your donated quilts, crafts, events, and services as part of this great fundraising event this year!

Suggestions to help Luther Crest raise the most money for camper scholarships, programming, and building needs:

• This year, we are collecting donations of our traditional quilts and crafted gifts but are also seeking donations of services and experiences. For ideas on what would sell well, please see the backside of your Donated Item Information Form included in this envelope.
• Please only donate new items for this online and in-person auction. Already used or re-purposed items often do not sell well.
• If you are donating a quilt, choose a theme for your quilt, such as The North Woods or Barbi. Actual Twin (60x86), Full (76x86), Queen (82x92) & King (98x100) sizes often sell better than quilts that do not fit on a normal mattress size. Color choices that would fit in any home or décor often sell better than overly bright colors.
• Does your donation have a fun, historic, or funny story to accompany it? Items with personal stories about where it came from, who made it, or what happened while it was being made or collected tend to have increased bidder value.

Please send any questions you may have about donations or this event to Maureen Wieland (maureenw@luthercrest.org).
