CU raises $12,000 at annual athletics auction
Campbellsville University raised $12,000 - the largest amount ever - at the fourth annual Big Maroon Club Athletic Boosters' auction and dinner July 31 in Winters Dining Hall with 230 people in attendance.
Chuck Vaughn, director of the Big Maroon Club, said the record amount was raised even though there were fewer auction items, but the items sold for more.
Vaughn said the organizers made a change this year to include fewer items in the "live" auction and to add more to the "silent" auction.
