Despite a late-spring snow storm, people came out to support STRIVE at the 3rd annual auction on April 4th. Larry Williams Jazz Trio and delicious hors d'oeuvres made for a delightful evening of bidding. The first hour was a silent auction, followed by the live auction hosted by WSCH 6's Jennifer Rooks.
The evening raised over $20,000 for STRIVE programs.
Thank you all our table sponsors, volunteers and to everyone who came out to support STRIVE!
