SAN ANGELO, TX – Concho Valley PAWS is hosting its 5th annual Online Holiday Auction. This year the auction will feature over 100 items.
The auction will be filled with new items donated from individuals and businesses from the San Angelo community. The auction is an important fundraiser to the organization because all of the proceeds go to pay for the veterinary care of shelter pets and animals in need.
"Like everyone, we have experienced significant challenges and changes this year as a result of COVID-19. We've seen fewer adoptions, an increase in need of services such as our pet food pantry and emergency veterinary assistance. As a result we've had an increase in expenses but have not been able to host fundraising events to help offset it. That is why this is an important fundraiser for us," said Jenie Wilson, Executive Director. "When the auction concludes, winners will be notified and we can schedule for a contactless pick up of the items or to mail the items to their home."
The goal of the auction is to raise at least $5,000 but the organization hopes it will exceed that.
"We have some amazing items. Lots of great things for Christmas gifts or to treat yourself. The auction features electronics such as the Ring Doorbell, tablets and Amazon Alexas. It also features cute clothing, jewelry and pet items," said Wilson. "We especially want to encourage collectors to look at our items as this year we are featuring many Morgan Silver Dollars from the 1800's in uncirculated condition as well as bank bills from the 1920's."
The auction is online now through December 14th.
"We want to thank everyone who donated an item to this auction and our presenting sponsor, Coverlay Manufacturing, for making this auction possible," said Wilson. "We are so grateful to the businesses and individuals who helped by sponsoring such as Mr. Insurance, Jim Bass Ford, Mayfield Paper Company and David Lupton."
