United Way Holds Annual Online Auction Fundraiser

United Way St. Croix Valley will be running its sixth annual online auction throughout the month of June. All proceeds generated by this year's auction will be used to support programs that provide basic needs like food and shelter in St. Croix, Pierce and Polk Counties.

Each week from June 1 to June 28, United Way will post new donated items and services on eBay. This year some of the items that will be offered include Summer Set festival tickets; grocery and restaurant gift cards; Rock USA festival tickets; and a variety of sports tickets and memorabilia from teams including the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Twins and St. Paul Saints.

You may visit United Way's eBay page directly at myworld.ebay.com/unitedwaystcroixvalley to see what is currently for sale.
