A date is set for a Henderson tradition that started in the early 1950’s and continues to the present day – the Henderson Lions Auction.
The 2025 auction is set for Saturday, Feb. 22 at Rookies Sports Bar and Restaurant in downtown Henderson.
Tickets will soon be available from Lions members and will once again cost $75 each. Those who buy tickets and attend are in for a fun night of live auction featuring a wide variety of items and the knowledge they are helping the Lions make Henderson a better community.
The $75 ticket includes a meal, drink ticket and access to bidding at the live auction. Some of the great items auctioned last year included Legend’s Hotel and dinner for 2 at Cavanaugh’s Restaurant, one night cabin rental at the Farmer and Frenchman, a round of golf at French Lick, a Blackstone griddle, a grandfather clock and lots of bourbon!
This year’s auction is expected to include lots of new and exciting items that will promise a great evening of live auction. 100 % of the money raised at the auction stays in the community. Last year’s auction raised close to $40,000.
The money raised at the auction is used for grants to local nonprofit organizations, scholarships for local high school seniors, as well as eye care needs and sight conservation programs, including vision screenings for first, third, fifth and seventh graders in Henderson County Schools. In 2024, the Lions have distributed about $68,000 to the community and screened 1400 students in local schools.
