Community Financial will present the 32nd annual 88.1 the Park Radio Auction on Saturday, May 15th from 9am to 9pm.  Listeners can bid on items donated by local businesses and make a difference in the lives of students.

The station will have great items to bid on, including autographed memorabilia, restaurant gift cards, and services from local businesses.  A Dream Board with more unique items will be available for bidding all day.

Last year’s auction was postponed due to the pandemic.  The station has set an ambitious goal of raising $20,000 through this year’s fundraiser.

Local businesses and residents still have time to support the student radio station by donating items.   Businesses that donate can benefit from the exposure they will receive on 88.1 The Park.  Most importantly, they will be helping a program that has impacted the lives of students and served the Plymouth-Canton community for 49 years.
