Binghamton Relay for Life Silent Auction a success

Members of the Rockwell Collins Simulation & Training Solutions (STS) Relay for Life team in Binghamton, N.Y. raised $1,800 during a recent silent auction that will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Held for the fifth consecutive year, the silent auction featured wooden bears, carved and donated by STS Senior Simulator Test Technician Nic Blackwell. Artwork created by a local artist, plants, stone carvings from an area business, electronic items, and gift certificates from area restaurants and local sports teams also were available. In addition, the auction included golf clubs, bicycles, household items and gift baskets.

"We have great fun and great camaraderie," said Sandy McFarland, captain of the STS Relay for Life team. "But the most rewarding part of this event is that we're raising money for the American Cancer Society."

At the 2006 Relay for Life, the STS team was the number one individual fund-raising team and the number one corporate fund-raising team. The group raised $22,000 toward the fight against cancer.
