Friends. Food. Fun. Tradition. Oh, what an Auction night filled with 350 proud parents, students, alumnae, and supporters who mingled and bid with heart on over 400 incredible items for the 31st Annual Mercy AUCTION held February 27th. Taylor Swift concert tickets went for a rockin' $1,200, Red Wings hockey stick bench skated in about $2,750, the tasty and much loved Administrative Team Dinner bid up to $1,100, and Principal Witte's Wish ushered in almost $10,000 for a wireless sound system.

The big winners in the Auction Tuition Raffle were: Clarrisa & Richard Levandowski who captured the big grand tuition prize; Jane & Mark Gardner won $1,500; and Pam & Nick Pudar won $500.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU to all the dedicated volunteers, Chairperson Theresa Saroki, Auction Coordinator Kari Weber, Mercy faculty and staff, and generous Auction guests! Special thanks to WDIV Anchor and emcee Steve Garagiola and Auctioneer Joseph DuMocuhelle who year after year get the crowd excited to bid high for our Mercy girls.
