The Auction to Benefit the Lily Jean Fund was a heartwarming success!
The Cape Ann Auction community raised over $11,700!
Thanks to everyone who donated an item, entered a bid, shared a post and helped to spread the word!
Any auction relies on a community effort. Gloucester and the people that love it, stepped up big here.
Cape Ann Auction would like to pass on the sentiments of gratitude and love we received from the family and friends of the Lily Jean Crew for your cooperation.
There's much comfort in knowing that the community has their backs, whether it be through an auction, or a great concert fundraiser, like the one coming up at The Cut in May!
We hope to see you there!
Coming Soon
The Estate of Christina Rafter
Chris was a dear friend to the Cape Ann Auction Family, and we're proud to have been contracted to sell her estate contents.
As many of you will know, she was a longtime collector of antiques, art, Gloucester memorabilia and just about anything out of the ordinary she could get her hands on!
This should be a fun one, so be sure to be on our email list for up to the minute news on this treasure hunt!
Coming this Spring
Coins from the Christina Rafter Estate
Christina Rafter was curious and interested in many things. Although stories and friendships were at the top of that list: she dabbled in dozens of other categories, including coins. This auction represents the collection of coins and currency she accumulated. As usual, all bids start at $1 and there are no reserves.
