Dear Auction Friends,<br />
Twenty-eight years ago the Great Gold Rush Auction was created to<br />
generate new funding for the UNC <strong>Charlotte</strong> student-athlete scholarship<br />
fund. What began as a small fundraiser has become the largest<br />
fundraising event held annually to benefit the <strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>49ers</strong>. We<br />
continue to be overwhelmed by the outpouring <strong>of</strong> assistance we receive<br />
from those in the <strong>Charlotte</strong> community who graciously donate their<br />
merchandise and services so that we can reach our goal.<br />
Numerous individuals and businesses kindly give their time and energy to<br />
ensure the success <strong>of</strong> this event. In particular, we are grateful for the<br />
continued sponsorship <strong>of</strong> Chartwells and Compass Group. Each year<br />
they donate a fabulous meal for our attendees that is certainly<br />
remembered as a highlight <strong>of</strong> the evening. Tonight you will be equally<br />
impressed not only with the variety and taste <strong>of</strong> the food but also the<br />
presentation. In addition, we are very appreciative <strong>of</strong> the many people<br />
who have helped solicit the items available this evening and <strong>of</strong> those who<br />
have purchased tables and individual tickets to the event.<br />
I hope that this evening you will be able to relax and enjoy yourself.<br />
There are more than 1,200 items available for bid. Bid <strong>of</strong>ten, bid high<br />
and be assured that you are making a difference in the lives <strong>of</strong> many<br />
well-deserving young people.<br />
With kindest regards,<br />
Judy W. Rose<br />
Director <strong>of</strong> Athletics<br />
