Normally when the Starved Rock Area Special Olympics hosts an event you’re at a football field. The setting was fancier for their annual auction. Supporters filled Celebrations 150 in La Salle Thursday night to raise $36,300 for the agency that includes athletes from La Salle, Bureau, and Putnam Counties.
Area 16 offers competition for athletes in 17 sports.
Miller Group Charitable Trust sponsored the fundraiser. Miller Group Media includes Classic Hits 103.9 WLPO, 99.3 WAJK, 96.5 The Wolf, The NewsTribune, Agrinews and 815Life.com.
