The Eighth Annual Explorer Club Fall Auction is taking shape with some exciting new items and brand new features in addition to the usual selection available in the silent auction.

Included in this year’s event is an all-expense paid vacation package for two people to your choice of three of Hawaii's top resorts including airfare which is valued at over $9,000 but will start bidding at less than half the price.

This year’s event will be held at La Salle’s Tom Gola Arena beginning at 6:00 PM on Saturday, September 18. Admission to the reception which includes food and drinks is free and open to the public (with exception to current La Salle undergraduates). The night features musical entertainment, a silent auction, a live auction and, new to this year will be both a “bucket auction” and the “Big Ticket Auction which will feature a soon to be announced premium grand prize.

All money raised at the event will go directly to support student-athletes at La Salle University. Winning bidders can choose to have their contribution benefit the sport of their choice or go to the Explorer Club general fund.

A complete item menu will be posted in a few weeks but a quick glimpse of this year’s prizes includes:
