The La Prairie Lioness Club's annual celebrity auction is set to go for another year in Portage la Prairie.

It'll be at the Portage Legion tomorrow night, for the 13th consecutive year. All the proceeds go to Central Plains Cancer Care Services.

Organizer Heather Graham is grateful to the business community for contributing prizes and services every year, but isn't surprised because Portage businesses have always been generous, even though they're approached like this every week. She says they always go above and beyond.

Graham is also pleased attendance at the event has increased each year, with last year being their best. She describes the auction as something positive in dealing with a serious disease.

Graham adds when they organized the first auction, it was intended as a one-time event, but they realized how important fundraising is for Cancer Care, so it's continued since then.

Doors open tomorrow night at 7:30, and there's no admission.

Graham estimates they've raise between $40,000 and $50,000 for Central Plains Cancer Care over the last 12 years.
