BUCKHANNON, W.Va. (WV News) — Upshur County Relay for Life will host a new fundraiser event this weekend: a quarter auction.
The event will be held 2 p.m. Sunday at The Outpost and Event Center in Buckhannon.
A quarter auction requires participants to purchase bidding paddles for $10. Items up for bid will have a note stating that the starting bid will range from a quarter to $3.
As the auctioneer calls the items, participants raise their paddles to bid on a particular one, placing bid money in a container on the table. Then, numbers are drawn to determine who will win the prize.
The event will also include door prizes, a Chinese auction and a 50/50 raffle.
Those wishing to purchase snacks may visit The Daily Grind counter. Doors to the quarter auction open at 1 p.m.
All proceeds will go to Upshur County Relay for Life, which supports the American Cancer Society. Relay fundraisers support cancer research for a cure and programs that help cancer patients.
This year’s Upshur County Relay for Life will take place July 19 in Jawbone Park.
