Jerseyville, IL- Quarter Auction to benefit Spinal Muscular Atrophy
As you know, we raise money every year for Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Our goal is to raise money until there is a treatment. Since we began in 1996, they have found the cause of the disease, stopped it in mice, and are now trying to find a safe way to treat humans.
This year we are having a Quarter Auction on May 6th at the K.C Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the auction starting at 7. At a quarter auction you buy a... paddle for $5.00 with $4.00 going to the charity. There are approximately 20 vendors around the room who donate multiple items to be auctioned off. The bids are from 1 to 4 quarters, and if you bid, you hold up your paddle. They pull numbers until someone’s number that is raised is pulled. There will also be silent auction items.
