SILENT AUCTION NEWS RELEASE
Attendees of this Friday’s Summer Concert “Glitter in the Air-Pink” will have the opportunity to support the fight against breast cancer through a special Mini Silent Auction hosted at the Susan G. Komen booth on nonprofit row. The auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run until dark, offering guests a meaningful way to give back while enjoying an evening of music, connection, and local pride.
The Mini Silent Auction will showcase a selection of a dozen items donated by local community members. Guests can bid on jewelry, gift certificates, and vintage/collectors’ items, with 100% of proceeds supporting Susan G. Komen’s mission to end breast cancer through research, community health programs, and patient support services.
“A mini silent auction gives everyone a chance to participate, whether they’re placing a bid, learning more about breast cancer resources, or donating to the 3-Day 60-mile walk” said local breast cancer awareness advocate Nancy Partridge.
Concert‑goers are encouraged to visit the booth early to browse items and place bids. Volunteers will be available to answer questions, share educational materials, and accept direct donations. Winning bidders will be contacted by email or phone.

The Los Alamos Reporter is taking the liberty of adding Nancy’s statement on the Susan G. Komen 3-Day page:
Please support me as I commit to a 26th year of participating in an incredible challenge. The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. It will be hard, but it’s not as hard as breast cancer. It’s not as hard as chemo. It’s not as hard as getting bad news at your latest scan. It’s not as hard as saying goodbye.
I lost my mother-in-law, a cousin, and several friends to this disease. But its not just about my losses, Universities and hospitals across the nation have lost funding for cancer research.
More than 290,000 in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. More than 43,000 will not survive. One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
And that’s why I know I have to do this. That’s why I’m walking and why I’m raising money – to end breast cancer forever.
Your donation can help fund the research to find a cure.
