The 24th annual St. Charles Hospice Christmas Auction netted more than $100,000, breaking the 2014 record. Proceeds provide charity care to St. Charles Hospice and Transitions patients in Central Oregon.

Community members and local businesses and organizations donated decorated trees, quilts and many other items that were auctioned off at the Dec. 5 event, themed “Vintage Christmas,” at the Crook County Fairgrounds indoor arena. The sold-out event, attended by more than 500 guests, included dinner, a performance by the Crook County High School Jazz Choir, silent auction, live auction and raffle.

The highest bid was $10,000 for a single quilt made by Norma Horak, wife of St. Charles Hospice medical director Dr. James Horak, in honor of the work of Dr. Michael Knower and St. Charles Hospice staff. The highest tree bid was $9,000 for “Reflections of Love” in memory of Sharon Krider.

The auction is sponsored by St. Charles Hospice, Robberson Ford and St. Charles Foundation.
