BUSN200 Students Collect More Than $30,000 Worth of Items for Listening House Silent Auction

The 12th Annual Listening House Silent Auction is being organized and hosted by another great group of BUSN200 students. Thus far they have solicited more than $30,000 worth of items to be auctioned! These students work amazingly hard to create this event every year, and we would love to count on your support!

There are four great ways to help:

Attend the event – from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Sunday, April 22, in the McNeely Hall Great Room. These students would LOVE to see their favorite faculty and staff at the event. Tickets are $10 for pre-K through graduate students and $20 for all others. Your $20 provides you with a dessert bar, two "adult" drinks and a night of great fun, as well as the chance to bid on more than 200 GREAT auction items! Tickets can be purchased at the door the night of the event. You'll even have a chance to bid on some incredible glass art created by Tom Hamilton from our very own Finance Department. A current list of our auction items (as of Saturday, April 14), listed by categories, can be viewed here.
Feed the hungry bear! In McNeely Hall, Room 316, you will find a lovely "Bear Bank" that is hungry for donations. We will accept ALL change or bills that are cluttering your wallet. We also will be extremely happy to accept checks written to "Listening House." Or mail checks (payable to Listening House) to Dr. Barbara Gorski, Director of the BUSN200 program at: Mail #MCH128.
Assist in organizing your department’s gift basket, which was recently requested.
