The Western MA Council along with the Tri-County and Pioneer
Valley LMC's helped at the CLARKE SCH OOL
9th Annual All-American Sports & Leisure Auction
at the
new Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA, on Thursday, April 7th.
Tip-off time for the two-hour silent auction was 6 p.m. A one-hour live
auction immediately followed at 8 p.m.
Sports items up for bid, such as photos, baseballs, jerseys, hockey sticks
and footballs signed by professional athletes and sports celebrities,
competed with leisure items such as jewelry, restaurant gift certificates,
theater tickets and weekend getaways.
Current items received included a David Ortiz signed jersey, a Kevin
Millar signed bat, a 500 Home Run Hitters lithograph and a Super Bowl XXXVIII Patriots Touchdown scorers collage lithograph.
Last year, the auction generated $50,000 for the Clarke School Scholarship
Fund and school programs thanks to the support of donors, guests, sponsors
and volunteers.
I'm sure
this year topped last year. We had over 30 volunteers and all had a great
time
