AURORA, CO, UNITED STATES, March 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AURORA, CO — March 29, 2026 — Aurora Rise, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was founded to provide assistance to survivors of the July 20, 2012, theater shooting and runs a scholarship program in the memory of those who died that night, will hold its annual Charity Silent Auction on Sunday, April 5, 2026. The event serves as the grand finale of the All C’s Collector’s Showcase at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds Event Center.

While memorabilia and collectibles will be on display for viewing throughout the three-day weekend, the official bidding window for the silent auction opens on Sunday morning. 100% of all proceeds from the silent auction go directly to the Aurora Rise mission, funding our scholarship program and providing assistance for the victims and their families as they continue their journey of recovery.
