Welcome to the Martini Masquerade Silent Auction!

For over 50 years, Companions for Children has been a trusted presence in the Minot community, connecting local youth with positive adult role models who believe in them, show up for them, and help them thrive. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is simple but powerful—to make sure every child has someone in their corner.

Our Mentors are volunteers, but to the kids we serve, they’re so much more. They’re cheerleaders, confidants, and lifelong friends. Whether they’re helping with homework, teaching a new hobby, showing up at school events, or sharing holidays together, these relationships are built on trust, kindness, and consistency. In fact, some Mentors have even had their mentees stand beside them on their wedding day. That’s the kind of impact your support helps make possible.

Today, nearly 200 children in our community are matched with Mentors across many unique programs—and with your help, we can continue growing that number. Learn more or get involved at www.companionsforchildren.org.

This silent auction is part of our signature fundraiser, The Martini Masquerade, happening Saturday, April 26 at the State Fair Center, Magic Place. The event is sold out, but the auction is open to everyone!

Whether you're attending in person or bidding from the comfort of your couch, participating is easy. Just register, enter your credit card info through this secure site, and start bidding right from your phone. When the auction closes, your card will be charged automatically.

If you’re a virtual bidder, we’ll reach out the following Tuesday to coordinate pickup. If you're joining us at the event, you will bring your winnings home that night.

Every bid you place helps provide a child with something priceless: a dependable adult who believes in them. Thank you for being a part of something bigger and helping us keep these life-changing relationships free for families.

From all of us at Companions for Children—and the kids who count on us—thank you.
