The Bond County Unit 2 Academic Foundation had a big night Saturday. The group held their first annual Light the Way gala, to raise funds for classroom projects throughout the Unit 2 school district.
The gala was a sold-out affair and included a large live and silent auction.
Preliminary totals, from the auction alone, exceeded $16,000.
Academic Foundation President Don Dillon said the community supported the effort beyond the expectations of organizers and the foundation was very pleased with the response.

The auction total doesn’t factor in expenses, event sponsorships, or table sales. Organizers say they will release a final total when they have one. The gala was held at Copper Dock Winery.
