The Perfect Wife to Host AKP Foundation Silent Auction & Festivities

On Saturday, June 15th, the AKP Foundation will hold a silent auction fundraiser at the Perfect Wife Bar and Restaurant in Manchester, Vermont.  The event will include numerous festivities throughout the day, beginning at 1:00pm with a family-friendly barbeque, face painting for kids, a horseshoe tournament, other yard games, and beer from Long Trail brewery.  People will be able to enjoy live music throughout the day and evening, including a performance by Gold Town later that night.

The silent auction will be open until 7:00pm and will feature over 60 items donated from numerous businesses and individuals, including New York Yankee tickets, a kayak, rounds of golf, Lollapalooza tickets, sport memorabilia signed by hall of famers, and much more.  “We are so lucky to receive such incredible support for these kinds of events,” says AKP president Jon Wilson.  “We have some incredible items to bid on thanks to so many companies and people, most of whom are local, who have generously jumped at the chance to help us ‘fight cancer with adventure’.“  Some of those items are: Weekend at a Cape Cod Cottage, Kayak, VIP Lollapalooza Tickets, Yankees Tickets, Golf Outings, Adirondack Chairs, Fly Rod Outfit, Vew-Do Board, Sports Memorabilia and much, much more!
