The Eastside Native American Education Program (ENAEP) will hold its annual silent auction and dinner at 6 p.m. on March 17 at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland.

Proceeds got to help children and their educational needs. Items up for auction include a signed Seahawks football, a Cancun Resort vacation, gift cards, tickets to local events, sporting certificates and bowling parties.

There will also be a kids table with auctions held every hour along with raffle drawing baskets.

ENAEP is a federally-funded program that assists Native American, Alaskan Native, and American Indian students in the Lake Washington, Bellevue, and Northshore School Districts in grades K-12.

Since the initiation of the Indian Education Act of 1972, the Federal Government has assisted local school districts in funding educational programs for all Native American, American Indian, and Alaskan Native children. These programs are intended to provide children with programs that not only offer them the opportunity to succeed academically but to enrich their cultural lives as well.
