How Does the Auction Work?
Auction items are collected, sorted into blocks, and then promoted through newspaper ads, radio, and the web prior to the broadcast date.  On the auction night, listeners can tune in to one of the participating radio stations and listen to the live auction.  Bidders call to receive bidder numbers and place their bids.
