The Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation’s second annual virtual charity auction will begin on May 4. The bidding will come to a close on May 16, and items may be added to the auction throughout the twelve-day virtual event. Bidding will all take place on the MW Auctions website. The Foundation is still accepting donations and will continue to accept donations through May 16. Items donated should have a minimum value of at least $25.
Proceeds from the auction will go to support the Oncology Nurse Navigator Program, as well as the Foundation’s general fund, which supports Wright Memorial Hospital in a variety of ways.
“In 2021, we held this event to help offset the cancelation of regular fundraisers, the annual golf tournament and Wright Run, due to the pandemic. The auction was a tremendous success, and so we’ve decided to make the virtual auction an annual event,” said David Bain, Foundation Development Officer, Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Because of excellent support from our hospital departments, as well as so many individuals and businesses throughout the community, we were able to profit $10,000 which helped to fund the hospital’s Oncology Nurse Navigator Program and other Foundation endeavors.”
The auction will be hosted in partnership with local award-winning auctioneer Michael Witten, and MW Auctions. Those wishing to participate will be able to register, and then bid on the MW Auctions’ website. The mission of the Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation is to promote, advance, encourage, assist, and support the growth, development, and operation of Wright Memorial Hospital.
