The auction included everything from gun safes exclusive trips and hotel stays to golf passes and professional sports tickets to games to timeshares and sold all but one of the auction items. Bennett said about 400 people attended this year’s gala. “It grows every year and I am just blown away by the items that are donated at the auction and dinner,” Bennett said. “They really are second to none.” “We are extremely grateful to the community for their support and we could not do this every year without the support of sponsors, and staff,” Bennett said.
