The fourth annual Chuckwagon Roundup and Auction will happen Saturday, Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Summer Institute of Linguistics in Catalina. Following a delicious barbeque dinner with ‘all the fixins,’ prepared by Bubb’s Grub, hundreds of items will be auctioned off at amazing prices. Although tickets usually sell out before the auction date, some tickets are still available for $10 at the Oracle Family First Center at 1575 W. American Ave. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:30 to 4:30. Tickets are also available on line at www.familyfirstpcc.org. Tickets ordered online after Oct. 6 may be picked up at the center office or at the door on the date of the event. For more information, call 520-896-9545.

More than a hundred donations, ranging from Diamondback tickets, a signed University of Arizona football, Grand Canyon Railroad tickets, original art works, jewelry, and collectibles (to name a few), have been received at the Family First Pregnancy Care Center and Family Diaper Bank in Oracle. There will be many silent auction tables loaded with baskets of assorted items plus gift cards for restaurants, entertainment venues, theaters, auto, and many other services and products from Tucson area businesses.

The Chuckwagon Roundup is Family First’s main fundraising activity of the year. All money raised will be used locally to support the educational programs that help families from Kearny, Winkelman, Mammoth, San Manuel, Oracle, and Catalina learn how to better raise their children. By completing classes, the families earn Mommy Money to get diapers, blankets, formula, clothes, toys, books, furniture, car seats, and other needed items from the center’s store.
