Page 6 2021 PAINT THE PAPER PINK LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Oct./Nov. 2021 A fter weeks of planning and preparing, on Thursday evening, the Pink Pumpkin Auction to raise awareness for breast cancer and support the American Cancer Society paid off big time. The evening was a huge success, bringing in more than $20,000 for the American Cancer Society. However, events like this auction don’t just happen. There are so many people involved and so many small and large jobs that have to be completed in order to bring about the best possible outcome. Thursday began with getting the shop area of Collision Concepts set up to display the many items that would be offered for sale through both a silent auction and a live auction. At noon, Collision closed for the day and staff hurriedly cleared the building of all the vehicles they were working on. The floors were cleaned and measures were taken to assure the safety of guests coming in later that evening. At 1 p.m. auction committee member Karen Hargis met staff members from the Lincoln Illinois American Water Company at the Logan County Fairground.
