The Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade is much more than a one-day event!

In addition to bringing a bit o' the green to Downtown Lawrence, Kansas, every March, the Committee runs more than 10 events to raise money for Douglas County area children's charities. Our committee is made up of dozens of people from across the Lawrence community, all volunteers, led by a board of 10 individuals. Since our founding in 1988, we have donated more than $1.2 million to charity.

By far, our annual St. Patrick's Auction is our largest fundraiser of the season. We couldn't do what we love to do without Lawrence and its incredibly generous individuals and businesses. At this year's Auction, we are offering so many exciting items including sports collectibles, vacations, parties, dining experiences, home goods, live music and theater events, gift cards from local shops...well, the list goes on and on. Join us in bidding on these fantastic items online and/or in-person to raise funds for children's charities!

 Remember...it's for the kids!
