Here at Devine Memories autism is very close to our hearts. We know first hand what autism is and what it means. This is why we choose to support Autism Speaks and Cure Autism Now in research and education of autism. Our fundraising efforts this year center around the autism walk being held Sunday November 4th at Tempe Town Lake. You can support the Devine Memories team by joining us for the walk, making a donation on our wedpage, purchasing puzzle piece pledge cards at the store, attending the autism crop, and bidding on several baskets or art pieces during our silent auction.

Starting Monday, October 15th through Saturday the 20th at 5pm, the silent auction items will be on display at the store. Heres how it works. Pick out which items you can't live without and make a bid at the store. Your bid may also be called in to the store 480-813-2093. Remember to check back often to secure your bid. Bidding ends Saturday October 20th at 9pm and winners will be announced online Sunday morning the 21st. Nightly updates will be posted online.
