The week-long Princeton Optimist-Kiwanis Club Radio Auction concluded with a big celebration Friday night when it was announced that a record-breaking amount of over $35,000 was raised for the youth in our community.
Princeton Kiwanis Club President Joe Gray announced that Friday night’s auction total was over $5,100 bringing the grand total — including the 31 donations to the Goat Club, 34 Platinum Partner Program sponsors, and the scholarship donation — to more than $35,000.
