Lake Michigan Catholic SCENE Auction Marks 35th Year in Hybrid, Home Grown Fashion

For 35 years now, organizers, administrators, volunteers, family members and friends of the Lake Michigan Catholic School system in Michigan’s Great Southwest have been hosting an annual major school fundraiser called the S.C.E.N.E. Auction — standing for Strong Catholic Education Needs Everyone. This year, due to the ongoing pandemic restrictions, the auction is becoming a hybrid affair being called the Home-Grown SCENE Auction.

The 35th annual auction goes hybrid, offering up a combination of “Fun, safe, in-person team scavenger hunts and online games,” which have been added to the virtual auction bidding and the $10,000 cash raffle.

Events will be held between Saturday, April 17th, and Wednesday, April 28th, to extend the celebration that, along with supporting Catholic education, will honor “Home-Grown” businesses, workers, volunteers, and Laker families who have worked tirelessly on behalf of others throughout the pandemic.
