Major props to Brian Hicks and the entire Xavier Athletic Department for their generosity and warm wishes. They provided some really cool stuff that we hope will generate a ton of interest and major bucks for Brian's memorial fund that helps XU kids in financial distress.

Bidding will start at 6 pm on Thursday, 3/5, at Dana's. It will end at 7:45 and the party will wrap up at 8. For those of you who are unable to make the event and still want to bid, contact me at mmccormick@bahl-gaynor.com indicate your desired item(s), initial bid, and max bid. If possible, I may be able to text you with 10 minutes to go and get your final price. We will accept cash or checks made out to "The Brian McCormick Memorial Fund." Finally, we reserve the right to pull an item if it does not meet its reserve price and all sales are final.
