Another Lioness Celebrity Auction is ready to go tonight at the Portage Legion.

It's the 8th annual event, featuring well-known Portagers offering their services, with proceeds going to Central Plains Cancer Care Services.

Organizer Heather Graham notes without the business community, the auction couldn't happen. She points to the silent auction as one of their most important contributions.

Graham is grateful to the celebrities, many of whom have participated from the beginning. She adds they total they're raised has grown each year, with the 2006 figure at $8500.00.

Graham stresses they don't set fundraising targets, and are grateful for whatever they receive.
