A radio auction fundraiser supported by a Reedsburg radio station raised a record amount of money for the Reedsburg Area United Fund.
The 74th annual WRDB Radio Auction raised $74,000 during 35 hours of airtime over five days. More than 300 individuals and many local organizations donated a record 1,700 items to auction off, including baking and cooking specialties.
Reedsburg Area United Fund President Dave Estes said, “The crew from Magnum is top notch. The donation of the airtime each year is the bread and butter of the whole operation.”
All of the money raised goes directly to 30 local non-profit groups that request funds from the Reedsburg United Fund.
