The auctions will feature a wide variety of items to bid on.

Last year, the event raised over $40,000 to help support the Boys and Girls Club of Richland County fulfill its mission, "To inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens". The Club provides a positive place for local young people to go and greatly appreciates all the support it receives from the community.

Anyone wishing to donate auction items or purchase tickets may call the Club at 406-433-6763 or Marissa Schoepp at 406-433-1810.
