The 19th Annual Jon Crane Auction benefiting CHS was held last Friday, October 3, in Rapid City. This year’s net proceeds exceeded $263,000, which will support our new Rapid City Campus.

Guests had a wonderful evening bidding on beautiful silent auction packages, enjoyed a delicious meal and participated in an exciting live auction. Throughout the evening, people had the chance to purchase keys. The guest with the key that fit the special lock took home Breathless Evening Light—an original painting by Jon Crane.
