Page 13 2022 PAINT THE PAPER PINK Lincoln Daily News Oct/Nov 2022 Pink Pumpkin Auction brings in the crowd and the cash for the American Cancer Society After months of planning and anticipation, on the evening of Thursday, October 6th, the work of the Friends and Family Relay Team came together in an awesome event held at Collision Concepts in Lincoln. The Pink Pumpkin Auction is a fundraiser event held in conjunction with the American Cancer Society Relay for Life program. The money taken in at the auction will go entirely to the ACS and earmarked for breast cancer awareness, research and assistance to warriors. Although it is a lot of work, and takes up a lot of time, the team members agreed that when the night was over and more than $18,000 was raised, it was an effort well worth making. Getting ready for the day took a lot of volunteers starting with Erv and Cindy Guyett and their staff at Collision Concepts. The back shop area was closed at noon, all the work in progress was moved out of the building. The floors were cleaned, measure were taken to keep guests within a safe area during the event, and then it was time to set it all up. CONTINUED u
