More Than $180K Raised During Prineville Hospice Auction

More than 650 people turned out to support St. Charles Foundation’s annual Prineville Hospice Auction on Dec. 7, which raised more than $180,000 to support hospice programs. The popular annual event held at the Crook County Fairgrounds Indoor Arena includes a festive live auction of handmade quilts and Christmas trees as well as dinner, raffle and more.

“The Prineville Hospice Auction is a wonderful way for the community of Crook County and beyond to show support for the hospice programs while also spreading holiday cheer and good will,” said Jenny O’Bryan, executive director for the St. Charles Foundation. “The dollars raised help provide funding for education support services, grief counseling, bedside volunteers, spiritual counseling and more for St. Charles’ hospice programs.”

Best quilt honors went to “Cabin in the Woods,” donated by The Quilt Shack and the best tree award went to “Honoring the Timber Industry: A Lost Profession” donated by Coldwell Banker Sun Country Realty, Inc.
