HIPOW stands for "Happiness Is Paying Our Way." The late Father Frances Mcguigan, S.J. began HIPOW as a "fun" fund-raiser. The 3 day auction is the largest single fund-raising event for the schools. Thursday and Friday nights are "Family Nights" and all are welcome to attend! The Saturday night auction and dinner is a black-tie affair and the Fairbanks social event of the year!

The HIPOW office is currently accepting donations! Your help is greatly appreciated and your donation is tax-deductible. HIPOW is in need of new electronics (sorry, we cannot accept used games, systems or software), new children's items, tools, hunting equipment, small furniture, home decor, restaurant gift certificates, entertainment certificates, professional services, jewelry, precious stones, wall art and Alaska Native arts & crafts. Due to recent toy recalls, we cannot accept used toys.

While the HIPOW office appreciates and accepts a wide variety of items, we cannot accept every donation. Donated items should be new, or in as like-new condition as possible. Exceptions include handmade blankets, collectibles, jewelry and antique certified furniture.
