Over 15 vendors have donated two items each, and several vendors will also have cash/carry tables where attendees may purchase additional items. Iota Chi Chapter members will also be selling pizza by the slice, subs, chips, soda and water at the event.

Participating vendors include Scentsy, Tupperware, Thirty-One, Mary Kay, Paparazzi, Miche, Beauticontrol, Pink Zebra, Origami Owl, Lemongrass Spa, Beach Body, Perfectly Posh, Jewelry in Candles, Premier Jewelry and more.

Iota Chi Chapter President, sophomore Elizabeth Herzog of Lincoln, Ill., noted “We are excited about this year’s quarter auction, and we are looking forward to using the funds raised from this event to improve the lives of community residents. Phi Theta Kappa has always been incredibly grateful for those who have generously donated to the causes we support.”

Funds raised by Iota Chi Chapter are used for a variety of community projects and student development, such as supporting the Creekside Environmental Center, collecting and purchasing toys for Toys for Tots of Logan County, sponsoring children and families on the Angel Tree, participating in the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics, and helping Iota Chi members attend the PTK Regional Leadership Conference.
