Thanks to everyone that helped make the 88.1 the Park Auction our best ever.  Through your generous support we were able to raise over $16,000.  This is the most money we’ve every raised through the auction and we are very grateful.  Thanks to the businesses that donated items, listeners who bid, parents and students that contacted businesses, and our staff for the hard work on the day of the auction.

The clinic will take place on Friday July 29, from 6 to 8 pm at Plymouth High School. As you can imagine, putting on a clinic like this comes with costs and they’re looking for sponsors to help with the expenses.
