As of Monday, the Quillayute Valley Scholarship Auction has raised $175,550, with additional cash donations expected to come in over the next week. More than 900 items were auctioned over the weekend, generating $151,000 alone. Each year, the event’s success is driven by the hard work of the current Forks High School senior class, along with the many volunteers, donors and community members who lend their support, including those who contributed to the senior parents’ concessions.
