Smith shared information about the use of funds raised by the American Cancer society. She introduced Youngquist and thanked him for allowing members of the LDN staff to put in the hours of effort needed to organize the fundraiser as well as permitting “blatant self- promotion” of the event in the daily edition.

Over $9,000 from the live auction, more than $3,000 from the silent auction, a match provided by the Guyett’s for the first item that brought more than $750, cash dropped off at the cash office as simple donations to the cause, and the money deposited in the donation boxes at the cash office and at Daisy’s table, all added up to roughly $16,000 for the ACS. It was a great night, and to all those who helped put it together, who donated items for the auctions, and particularly to those who bought the items donated, thank you so much! We should also note that all the services, the food, the auction items, signage, advertising and more was given to the fundraiser at no charge. Therefore the entire $16,000 will go directly to the ACS. That money is also earmarked to be used specifically in Logan County for breast cancer services and support.
