Some of the items auctioned include a five-night stay at the Palm Ocean View in St. Thomas and four months of home cupcake delivery. There were also many raffle prizes, including gift certificates and video rentals.
The Bucknell Brigade is a group of students, faculty and staff dedicated to aiding the people of Nueva Vida.
“There was a steady crowd of about 50 people with people constantly coming and going, so in the end, I’d say we had 85 to 100 people in total show up to the auction. We made just under $2,500 with our auction prizes,” Katie McAvoy ’13 said.
The proceeds raised by the raffle and auction will go directly to the Nueva Vida community.
