Please join us and many of your Bedford neighbors in the exciting “Bidding for Justice” online auction to benefit Communities for Restorative Justice (C4RJ). You can bid on a wonderful wealth of items from the comfort of your own home or office.
Auction items include vacation travel, tickets to Red Sox games, museums and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, numerous ways to pamper yourself, golf outings at various clubs, dining out, and much, much more.
This fundraiser for C4RJ runs online from June 8-18 with a live silent auction to be held at a volunteer appreciation event on June 19. To access the auction, see the items, and register to bid, go to https://www.biddingforgood.com/c4rj. You must be registered to bid prior to viewing the auction and participating in the bidding. To attend the live silent auction, visit www.C4RJLiveAuction.eventbrite.com.
C4RJ, a volunteer-driven non-profit, is funded by grants, donations and auction events like this. It was launched in 2000 by two visionary women, Jean Bell and Joan Turner, and retired Concord police Chief Len Wetherbee, and has spread to 11 other towns, including Bedford,where Chief of Police Robert Bongiorno and Selectman Margot Fleischman serve on the current board.
C4RJ is also active in Acton, Arlington, Ayer, Bedford, Boxborough, Cambridge, Carlisle, Groton, Littleton, Stow and Wellesley.
C4RJ partners with local police to bring an offender, a victim as well as other affected community members together in a group setting called a “circle,” not in a courtroom. What distinguishes restorative justice is the fact it recognizes that crime is a violation of people and relationships, not just the law. To read more about C4RJ, go to www.c4rj.com.
We hope you will get your electronic bidding paddle and Bid for Justice “early and often” in our online auction, and we thank you for your help.
