Dealer’s Auto Auction Huntsville announced recently that it raised over $25,000 during its 11th anniversary sale to benefit The Boys & Girls Club of North Alabama.

The annual event held at the end of June featured a cookout, live music and prizes while being attended by local dignitaries, civic leaders as well as dealers from across the southeast of the U.S.

Roger Fields, the auction’s general manager, commented on the success of the fundraiser.

“For the past several years, we have used this special event to give back to some very deserving charities that impact our community,” Fields said. “2015 is our biggest year to date, and it’s because our dealers and our staff care about more than just selling vehicles.”

The donation was drawn from a combination of auction fees and donations from partnering dealers and the companies that fall under the City Enterprises umbrella, the auction’s parent company.

“The fact that these auction partners were willing to support us locally speaks volumes about DAA of Huntsville,” said Beth Wheeler Morring, the director of resource development for The Boys & Girls Club of North Alabama. “Because of their overwhelming generosity and support, the lives of the children in our community will truly be changed.”
