Hospice of Lancaster County’s 25th Anniversary Auction Sets New Record!


Hospice of Lancaster County’s 25th Annual Labor Day Auction raised more than $350,000, setting a new auction record. Thousands of people visited the auction over Saturday, Sept. 5 and Monday, Sept. 7 to place bids on thousands of items, including original artwork, vacations, sports memorabilia, furniture and exquisite quilts.

Highlights of the event included:
  • Original artwork, including a specially commissioned watercolor depicting the Auction created by local artist Dale Ziegler, as well as works by Constantine Kermes, Reed Dixon and Suk Shuglie.
  • A limited, numbered print of Hannah’s Wish, donated to the Labor Day Auction by Bob and Shirley Garman, in memory of their granddaughter Hannah
  • More than 200 items up for bid during the sports memorabilia auction, an exclusive Golf Getaway with Nick Price; a Penn State Game Day package, including tickets, parking and refreshments, signed photo of Phillies coach Charlie Manuel holding the Commissioner’s Trophy; Nittany Lions replica statue sculpted by Cliff Sheely and a framed, autographed photo of Hank Aaron hitting a home run to beat Babe Ruth’s home run record.
  • The raffle of a 2009 Dodge Challenger, won by Deb Steiner, Columbia, Pa.
  • The raffle of a 2009 FXD Dyna Super Glide, won by Gordon Kohl, Lancaster, Pa.

The two-day auction began Saturday at Lampeter Fairgrounds and resumed Monday, 8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m. The Labor Day Auction also benefits from the generosity of the Amish community, who graciously provided authentic Pennsylvania Dutch fare throughout the entire two days, including made-to-order omelets, pretzel logs, whoopie pies and chicken barbecue, made fresh on site. Originally held for just a few hours on Labor Day, the Auction has expanded over the 25 years to a full two days of simultaneous auctions, featuring local TV and radio personalities as guest auctioneers. All proceeds benefit care and comfort for adults, children and teens in Lancaster County coping with serious illness and loss.

Thanks to all of our sponsors!
