Another year, a great success and tremendous community support. The 41st Annual Eve Benefit Auction on Aug. 25 grossed over $37,000 all because of the wonderful support we received from the community, local businesses and the many individuals who attended, bid for items and had fun at the event.
Local auctioneers, Charlie and Keelan McLeish, volunteered their time and once again had the crowd energized. Washington County Sheriff's office provided a security presence, the Zonta Club of Marietta and the Environs and the Washington State Community College Phi Theta Kappa students helped to organize the Silent Auction items so that we were able to "silently" auction over 150 items in less than two hours.
We honored as our Friend of Eve award recipient, Miranda Decker, for her brave work in sharing her story and raising awareness of sexual assault in our community. Lynn Stull was honored as Eve's Volunteer of the Year for her help with a variety of activities throughout the year. Tracy Augenstein and Patti Bauerbach were selected by their peers as Employees of the Year at Eve. We would also like to publicly acknowledge the many other contributors to our auction:

It would be impossible to thank each and every volunteer because so many contributed, not only at the Auction, but throughout the year. The consistent support and assistance for our local domestic violence survivor agency is a great reminder that we live in a community where people truly care. Thank you all.
