An online auction will be conducted to benefit Julie Willhite, wife of new North Harrison Superintendent Todd Willhite. Recently, she was diagnosed with cancer. The auction is being held at the Facebook Page Team Julie. Bidding will open Monday, January 22nd at 8 am and will close on Sunday, January 28th at 9 pm. Please bid only during these times and in dollar increments. Winners of auction items will be posted on Monday, January 29th. If you have questions, please contact the North Harrison School at (660) 867-5221 during regular hours.
The school has already done a t-shirt fundraiser for the Willhites.
Two weeks ago, during the halftime North Harrison-NEN girls basketball game, both North Harrison and South Harrison teamed up to raise money for the Willhites through a duck throw; Julie is a graduate of South Harrison. North Harrison cheerleaders Jayliegh Robins and Camden Castleberry were pelted with dozens of ducks during the duck throw to see who could throw the duck closest to the center.
On Wednesday, January 17th, the Hungry Bird Cafe sold 160 cinnamon rolls for the Willhites. They plan to sell more rolls on Friday, January 26th.
As of Sunday evening, over 48 people and businesses in the area have donated goods and/or services for the online auction. This includes four Royals tickets that were donated by BTC Bank. Also on sale will be a 2006 Volvo.
