 The evening will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the school's cafeteria with a
pulled pork or pork chop sandwich dinner that also features potato
salad, coleslaw, chips and a drink, all free-will donation.
A silent auction, balloon pop games, fishing games, a cake walk and
a bake sale will also take place in the cafeteria prior to the
match.
Just before the 6 p.m. JV match, cancer survivors will be honored as
the gym lights go dim. As the lights are coming back on, there will
be a serving contest for free pizzas taking place on the court.
Following the JV match auctioneer Mike Maske will do a live auction
in the gym for some very nice items, according to Coach Donna Dulle.
This year Mount Pulaski Grade School has gotten heavily involved in
the high school fundraiser as their beloved secretary, Anna Beckers,
will be the recipient of this year's proceeds. Beckers was recently
diagnosed with breast cancer. Each class from grades K - 12 has
donated "loaded gift baskets" and the junior class even collected
enough money to buy a TV to be auctioned. Beckers' daughter,
Alexandra, is a junior and the setter on the Lady Toppers Volleyball
Team.

Different organizations at Mount Pulaski High School
have also taken it upon themselves to donate items for the live
auction. A fire pit, a Go-Pro sports camera and an afghan are among
other items to be auctioned in hopes of raising a record amount this
year. There will also be a 50-50 raffle.
The Varsity match between Mount Pulaski and Riverton will be the
grand finale of the evening and that will take place following the
live auction.
Come on out to MPHS tonight and support this cause and enjoy the
evening, while helping a member of the community.
