The 2023 Heelan Auction on April 15 is themed "Totally 80's, Totally Crusaders." It'll be 1980s-themed around good music, movies and other pop culture.
Attendees are invited to wear neon colors or your favorite 80’s attire. Tickets for the event are still available at bidpal.net/HeelanAuction.
There are nine chairpeople on the Auction committee this year, with four of them being couples. Read more about them here.
Businesses donated at different levels to sponsor the Auction, while several tickets were sold for those who are looking forward to pulling some 80’s clothes out of their closet and bidding on great items.
The event starts at 5 p.m. with the silent auction, raffle sales and 80’s-themed games. Raffle tickets can be purchased now through current Heelan families or at each school building. Raffle tickets are $20.
Dinner from Hy-Vee will follow at 7 p.m. along with the award ceremony.
The heads-or-tails game and live auction begin at 8 p.m., and Fund-A-Cause and the raffle drawing will happen later that hour.
Mobile bidding ends at 9 p.m., while an all-80s music social dance begins at 9 p.m.
