The Princeton Optimist-Kiwanis Radio Auction kicked off successfully on Monday night, but there’s still much to be done as they continue to raise funds to support the youth in Caldwell and Lyon counties.
On the first night, the auction raised $1,122 and sold 40 items, compared to $1,184 and 35 items sold in 2023.
Optimist Club President Jean Ann Albertson highlighted additional ways to contribute to the auction beyond bidding and donating items.
