Solicitation of donations for the Silent Auction to be held in conjunction with the Dan Patch Dinner on February 24, 2019 is now underway. Do you have, or know someone, who might have artwork, unused vacation packages, unique harness racing memorabilia or other items?

“The auction adds a touch of charity to the awards dinner,” explained USHWA President Shawn Wiles. “Proceeds support not only our Clyde Hirt activities for sports journalism students, but also the great efforts of the Harness Horse Youth Foundation. It is important that USHWA members put forth effort to ensure the auction has high-quality items in order for us to provide assistance.”

Anyone who has something to donate or a contact for someone who might should contact Ellen Taylor (ellen@hhyf.org) or Shawn Wiles (swiles@empireresorts.com).
