Senior Class Silent Auction ends today

The Saint Mary’s University senior class silent auction ends today. The event raises money for graduation events and a class gift.

The auction, held in the basement of the Toner Student Center, features items donated by parents of seniors, faculty, staff and local business. Some of the items up for bid include Minnesota Wild tickets, original artwork, an iPod Nano and gift baskets.

The event also integrates a separate silent auction raising money for senior Christy Pickford, who was involved in a serious accident in August and remains in a health care center in Red Wing. A benefit for Pickford was held at Saint Mary’s on Nov. 19, with the silent auction continuing through Nov. 30.
