Thanks to an additional donation, and the generosity of John Grant Haulage, the online Legends Day auction, in support of the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation was able to top the $30,000 mark.
Upon closure of the auction on Friday evening, Clinton Raceway was contacted by the donor of the box at the Toronto Raptors game -- Brad Grant. Impressed with the outcome of the auction, Grant was willing to donate another box to the second highest bidder, should they match the top bid. Thanks to his generosity, and that of the initial underbidder, an additional $2,850 was added to the total. This, plus an additional donation of $2,600 brought the total to $30,440.
