Student-run auction for New Haven charities has a banner yearThe annual student-run Hunger and Homelessness Auction, held last November, raised more than $36,000 for seven community agencies in New Haven, the most ever raised by the auction and an increase of $5,000 over the previous year. This year’s auctioneer was Wade Brubacher, father of first-year medical student Jake Brubacher. State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, J.D., made a guest appearance to auction his own donation—lunch and a personal tour of the State Capitol.
Recipients of this year’s funds are the Community Health Care Van; HAVEN Free Clinic; Community Soup Kitchen; Domestic Violence Services of Greater New Haven; Immanuel Baptist Shelter; Leeway Inc.; Loaves and Fishes; and the St. Thomas More Catholic Chapel and Center at Yale University. As in past years, the fundraising began with a silent auction from November
13 to 16, followed by a live auction in the Harkness Ballroom on November 16.  |
