High School Student Auctions Prized Pig for Charity

“This is Waylon Klitzman. He will be a sophomore at Evansville High School and is a member of the Evansville 4H Club.  Today he will be donating the money from the sale of his pig to Beat Nb in honor of a little girl in his community named Harlow Phillips.  Harlow is currently being treated for neuroblastoma. She has had many treatments and has been in the hospital a lot in the last several months.  She is only 4 years old.  He wants to donate to Beat Nb to help find a cure for Harlow so she can just be a kid and not have to fight the beast anymore.”

After a round of applause and standing ovation, bidding started fast and before we knew it, the winning bid was made by E&D Water Works of Janesville at $11.50/lb!!  As the auctioneer congratulated the winner, the E&D representative donated the pig back to the sale to be sold AGAIN!!!  Waylon’s smile spread wide across his face.  INCREDIBLE!!  The bidding opened a second time and a second winner, Chambers and Owen, won the pig for another $10.25/lb and again…they donated the pig back to the sale!!!
...Waylon raised over $10,000 from the sale of that pig
