It was another success for the Portage Lioness Celebrity Auction last night.

Organizer Heather Graham says they raised between $8500.00 and $9000.00 for Central Plains Cancer Care Services. That would top last year's $8500.00 total.

She's extremely grateful for the community's support to create a positive event for an organization that deals with a lot of negative issues.

Graham adds Central Plains Cancer Care spends a lot of time fundraising, and this is one night where they can let others do that for them.

She calls the contribution of Portage businesses phenomenal, which is why the auction is always successful.
