Scholarship Auction raises over $30,000

The 33rd annual Northwestern College Scholarship Auction, held Feb. 20, raised about $32,000. Proceeds will help fund student scholarships.

Around 500 community members attended the event, which included a bake sale and waffle breakfast served by American Legion members. Bids were submitted on nearly 400 items.

Items that secured generous bids included a vacation package to Keystone, Colo.; tickets to a Minnesota Twins game;  a PGA golf tournament package; and a Florida vacation.

 “The Scholarship Auction continues to be an event enjoyed by many Northwestern supporters,” says coordinator Aletha Beeson. “The people who come not only go home with something valuable, they also feel good knowing the dollars they spent go directly to support students.”
