Auction has been boosting schools for 30 years

WATERMAN – The gymnasium at Indian Creek Middle School was packed with people participating in this year’s People-for-People Auction Sunday, sponsored by Indian Creek Community Concern for Children.

“This is our 30th year. The whole community comes out, or has donated,” said Susan Kauffman, president of the parent organization for the Indian Creek School District.

This year’s event featured more than 140 silent auction items and more than 130 live auction items donated by individuals and businesses in the community. The auction, which is always held on the second Sunday in March, is CCC’s only fundraising event of the year and proceeds are used to benefit dozens of classrooms and student activities at the middle school and high school.
