Special Auction for Special People - 2/26/11

The 2011 Special Auction for Special People, hosted by the McGuire Memorial Foundation, offered gifts galore for nearly 400 guests. Held at the Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh, the event involved numerous auctions, and WTAE-TV’s Sally Wiggin emceed. An exciting raffle of two Chevrolet Cameros and a private dinner with former Steeler Louis Lipps were among the items that helped to garner a record-breaking $310,000 to benefit the School at McGuire Memorial. “We try to personalize the event, and hit straight on what you are here for,” says Executive Director Jill Murchak. “We all felt it was a really good experience for our guests.” Photography by Megan Wylie Ruffing
