Rotary Radio Auction Scheduled for April 22

The Punxsutawney Rotary club is happy to announce the date of the 2023 Punxsutawney Rotary Radio Auction. The auction will take place Saturday, April 22, 2023. The auction was moved from March to April in hopes of generating more bidders as people return home to Punxsutawney from “snowbirding” in warmer areas for the winter. “As the auction is generated largely to the local region, we wanted to ensure the most participation from the local community. As many retired members of the community are just returning back to the area in early spring we thought we’d move the auction back one month in hopes of generating not only more bidders but more bids,” said Punxsutawney Rotary President Roque Carrasco.

In April the Rotary Club will advertise the items and segment times as an insert in the Punxsutawney Spirit. “As is customary for the radio auction we will release the segment times and items at a later date in April. Pictures of the items will also be available in the coming weeks on the Punxsutawney Rotary Facebook page,” said Carrasco. The proceeds of the auction are donated to local nonprofits in the Punxsutawney area. “One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the auction, as with our other fundraising efforts, are donated right back into the community to local nonprofits in the Punxsutawney region,” Auction Committee Chair Bob Lott said.
