story2Online Auction Raises $3,516.82
United Way St. Croix Valley's first online auction fundraiser raised $3,516.82 to support programs that provide basic needs such as food and shelter. The auction ran from June 1 to July 13 and featured items donated by more than 60 local businesses and community members.

One hundred items were up for bidding over the course of the first five weeks, and the final week featured a last call for purchases on a first-come first-serve basis at discounted prices. Items for sale included timeshare use in Mexico, a pool table, Apple River Country Splash concert tickets, a boat cruise on Lake Mallalieu and a variety of gift certificates.
