The Russell County Hospital Auxiliary is preparing for its annual cake auction on Wednesday, November 18th, in the hospital’s conference room. The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Longtime auxiliary member Brenda Higginbotham talked with WJRS NEWS about the auction and shared names of a few of the local bakers who will provide cakes and other baked goods.
Higginbotham says the cake auction is one of the auxiliary’s biggest fund-raisers. She explains how proceeds will be used.
This will be the auxiliary’s first fund-raiser at the hospital this year. Construction associated with the hospital expansion project has prevented the group from holding other fund-raisers on the grounds.
Anyone willing to provide a cake (or pie) can contact Brenda Higginbotham or bring the cake to the hospital at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, November 18th.
Bidders can participate in person in the hospital’s conference room or submit bids while watching the auction on social media. Auxiliary members or hospital staff normally provide that coverage.
