A stunning Soiree was held for the 29th Annual Mercy Auction on March 1st.  It was an elegant evening of food, fun, friendship, and fundraising with hundreds of guests bidding on hundreds of items to raise thousands of dollars for Mercy women.  Proud parents, students, staff, and Mercy alumnae filled the auditorium to enjoy the new Live Auction production. 

A loyal alum and her father bid back and forth  over the French Chateau which went for $4,500.  Mercy caught $3,750 for the Comerica Park Suite to see the Detroit Tigers in action.  Dean for an Hour was in high demand being offered up twice and pulling in $2,600.  Principal Witte’s Wish for an innovative portable television studio raised $10,000. 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the entire Auction team of PARENTS, dedicated Chairs Anita Sevier and Theresa Saroki, Mercy faculty and staff, and generous Auction guests!  Special THANKS to WDIV Anchor and evening Emcee Steve Garagiola and Auctioneer Joseph DuMouchelle for standing tall on stage to lead the Mercy crowd and to Special Events Coordinator Linda Karbo for making this a beautiful benefit for young Mercy students.
