For the second year in a row more than 100 supporters bid on unique auction items to raise $5,510 to benefit a wide range of programs and services provided by the Ithaca Youth Bureau (IYB) to area youth and individuals of all ages with disabilities.

The online auction, held from May 23 to June 7, was sponsored by the Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau (FIYB).

Auction items included "dates" with Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick, Dr. Luvelle Brown, superintendent of the Ithaca City School District, and Deb Mohlenhoff, a member of the Ithaca Common Council. Also offered were items donated by area artists and businesses.

“When you purchase items from the FIYB auction you help to keep important programs available to the youth and disabled individuals in our community," said Jeff Love, FIYB board chair. "We are very thankful to our supporters, including the community leaders, who helped to support this program. Many kids will benefit from these funds. Thank you to everyone who bid and to all who donated auction items.”
