Over the lifetime of the event, presented by the Central Vermont Friends of the VSO, the Radio Auction has raised $221,803.
“The Radio Vermont Group has done it again,” exclaimed a jubilant VSO Executive Director Alan Jordan. “We are so grateful for the support from bidders, item donors, block sponsors, media supporters, volunteers and businesses that provided food for our auction workers. But we are particularly thankful to the Radio Vermont Group for their annual hosting of this event that has now raised more than $220,000 to help carry on the good work of the VSO across Vermont.”
