Pink bags lined the tables while bright pink and silver balloons floated behind the silent auction items. Tuesday evening we were all wearing our pink ribbons in support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
The silent auction was followed by an animated live auction where thousands of dollars were raised in support of breast cancer treatment. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard helped auction his #9 football jersey in person, posing for photos with high bidders. In fact, the winning bidders returned his jersey to the emcee in order to have people re-bid and raise even more money for the Komen Foundation!
The evening was a success – we had the opportunity to meet many new people while supporting such an important cause. Each guest took home one of our Komen Pink Ribbon cookies – we hope you enjoyed them!
