Fayette, Mo. - The Central Methodist Department of Athletics hosted the 8th annual Eagle Athletics Auction Friday, July 19th inside Puckett Field House.
The auction brought in a record-high $130,000, of which all proceeds go back to support CMU student-athletes. Over 155 silent auction items and several big-ticket live items were featured including; a Bourbon Tour with the Drakes, a Chiefs football helmet autographed by three-time Super Bowl Champion Travis Kelce, and a Central Methodist Custom Monopoly Board.
The night also featured a student-athlete Q&A session with CMU student-athletes, women's basketball and track & field athlete, Renee Finke, and men's basketball player, Isaiah May. The duo discussed their time as student-athletes at Central and had an opportunity to give thanks to supporters in attendance.
Additionally, guests in attendance were able to celebrate the 2023-24 athletics season with a highlight video from the year, as well as Celebrating 50 Year's of Women's Athletics.
The live auction was hosted by Dick Hutchison '83, and Dick Hutchison Auction and Real Estate LLC.
