Brothers Auction Service. The main event was the Auction for St. Jude’s Kids. Auctioneers donated several items that helped bring the auction to a success. Some of the highlights included one-of-a-kind blankets that were made by the kids at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. The items were sold by members of the Michigan State Auctioneers Association, including members of the Board of Directors, MSAA Bid Calling Champions, MSAA Hall of Famers and our own local celebrity, Bill Sheridan of Mason, Michigan, the president of the National Auctioneers Association.

MSAA President and event host, David Helmer said “This event was a great time to showcase Auctioneers in Michigan and raise money for the kids who so badly need it. St. Jude’s treats so many kids with catastrophic diseases and never asks for a dime from family’s in need. It’s a pleasure to be part of an organization that supports such a worthy cause.”

Ridge Crest staff turned out in full force to support St. Jude and to enjoy an afternoon of auction fun! Click here to see photos of our staff in action at the event!
