T.A. Auction a Big Deal

Sold!

To all the lucky winners at Transportation Alternatives' First Annual Spring Benefit Auction, this was the word of the evening. The auction was a tremendous success, far exceeding our expectations. A fantastic group of volunteers pooled their talents, bringing together an excellent selection of donations. We had a great turnout, and of course, our stellar, smooth-talking auctioneer, Abbot Jackson made the evening complete.

Highlights included the heated bidding for the timeless, classic Spaceliner, donated by our friend, Mike Trost, and the nail-biting raffle drawing for the brand new Trek, donated by Bicycle Habitat.

We'd like to thank all of the merchants and individuals who made the evening possible.
