Bidding begins at 8 AM, Monday, Nov. 17 for the 6th Annual Foster Care in the U.S. Online Auction. There are many one-of-a-kind and even once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to purchase items such as a cut of a Taylor Swift-signed guitar, a ride in a 1977 limited-edition “Smokey and the Bandit” Trans Am, and a variety of other experiences and items. All bids must be in by Friday, Nov. 21 at 6 PM CST.
Proceeds from the auction will help fund the work of the organization’s I Am Tomorrow Today (IATT) Project supporting local young adults working toward a brighter future.
Among them is Alanna’s—a remarkable 18-year-old who transitioned from homelessness into a path of independence and career development with the support of Foster Care in the U.S. Alanna joined the IATT Project in March 2025. Since then, she has completed financial literacy and driver education programs, and in July, she became the first female technician at McMahon Exterminating in the company’s 50-year history. Now, she’s preparing to pursue HVAC certification at Ivy Tech.
“Alanna’s journey is a powerful reminder that with opportunity and support, young people can thrive,” said Jessica Angelique, Founder and CEO of Foster Care in the U.S. “Our auction gives the community a way to stand beside people like Alanna and fuel their momentum forward.”
Foster Care in the U.S. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Evansville serving young adults transitioning out of foster care and those facing housing instability.
6th Annual Online Auction from Nov. 17-21, 2025.
