How Can Tires Help the Children’s Auction?

For the entire month of December, the Irwin Automotive Group will donate $1 for each tire sold to benefit the WLNH Children’s Auction. The WLNH Children’s Auction is an annual, week-long event held in Laconia that connects individuals and businesses from all over New Hampshire with those in need. The  is run entirely by a team of volunteers who assist with all aspects of auctioning collecting donations, running the auction, and deciding which charities to support. Because the focus of the Children’s Auction is to help the children in New Hampshire, the money rasied by the Children’s Auction benefits many local charities including The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Citizen Santa Fund, St, Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, Greater Lakes Child Advocacy Center, Lakes Region Daycare, and Lakes Region Child Care Services, just to name a few!

The Children’s Auction was created in 1982 by WLNH radio host Warren Bailey, and raised $2,100 in its first year. It has grown tremendously from that first year both in terms of money raised and in terms of the number of people involved. From its humble beginnings as a handful of generous people in 1982, the Children’s Auction has grown to a team of over 700 volunteers today! In 2007, during the Auction’s 25th year, it surpassed the $1 million mark for all money raised since 1982. And it gets bigger every year. To put that in perspective, the Auction raised $416,500 in 2012 alone!

The Irwin Automotive Group is proud to support this wonderful endeavor and the many charities that benefit from everyone’s generosity. So when you come in this month to buy snow tires, you won’t just be getting a good deal, you’ll be doing some good for the children of New Hampshire!
