The Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group Inc. wrapped up their second annual Spirit of the Season Fundraiser Auction last week in Shaunavon.

A total of 12 items were on display in various Shaunavon businesses and people could bid on them.

This year $9,800.00 was raised, thanks in part to Crescent Point which donated  200 joints of used tubing. From that alone $7,000 was raised.

Fundraiser Lead, Patty Wright, explains what the money is used for. "The money will be put just towards what our ultimate goal is...helping people with financial hardships in chronic illness."

Last year's auction raised close to $4,000.

Over the past year, the Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group Inc. has approved 14 applications and paid out $15,000.

Wright says they're looking forward to holding the Fundraising Auction again next year.
