Make sure you tune into WFMY CBS tomorrow morning (Thursday, Sept 15) at 7 AM to see members of the AAF and a local Walmart store manager talk about this auction fundraiser.

This is shaping up to be a very big event.

Would be nice if the A&T website promoted this fundraiser. I find it odd that they dont have any information about it.

[Bornthrilla]

Make sure you all come out to this event tomorrow night. Plenty of great items to bid over.

Is there a bidder's list posted somewhere?

[Bornthrilla]

I think Jim McLeod has a complete list of auction items.

I'll see if he can post something ASAP.

Still not sure why A&T is not promoting this fundraiser on its website(s).

Re: List of Auction Items:

Items are still coming in, and the list is not complete.

There are lots of items, from a child's motorized car, grass seed, to a Carolina Panthers autographed helmet, an autographed basketball from Coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs, an autographed football from Coach Broadway, and very unique photos of Michael Jordan.

Believe me, you don't want to miss this Auction!

Chancellor Martin, Earl Hilton (AD), and most of the coaches will be there.

Don't miss it!
