We had a fantastic time at the 25th annual Wolfpack athletic auction which was held Saturday evening May 7 in Salem at the Salem Conference Center. The auction serves as the primary fundraiser for the athletic department, with all proceeds generated going directly to supporting student-athlete scholarships. The auction was hosted by WOU Graduate and KGW Portland TV Reporter Katherine Cook, who competed on the Track team while at WOU. Over 275 guests including Peter Courtney, President of the Oregon Senate, enjoyed the evening’s silent and live auctions. Some of the items won at the auction included:
- Joe Dimaggio autographed baseball
- 2011 Portland Timbers Team autographed ball
- Seattle Mariners weekend
- Steve Largent Autographed football
- Portland Trailblazers Night
- Portland Brew Tour
- Nexus 42″ LED HDTVs by CTL
- Framed Kevin Boss autographed game worn jersey
