“An enjoyable part of the event is shopping through the annual WVPA Foundation silent auction items,” said Smith. “The silent auction is a success because our member newspapers collect items from their unique regions of the state.”Funds raised at the silent auction — along with funds from other donations and revenue — help the WVPA Foundation support projects such as educational programming, internships and scholarships.
