First one to call Security Jewelers 218-722-6633 (ask for Carrie or Wynette) and is willing to make a check out SMDC Childrens Hospital for $150 gets it. $75 of the $150 is tax deductible.

I have auctioned these entries on ebay in the past with proceeds always going to local nonprofits and usually get anywhere from $300-$1,000. $150 is a bargain for this sold out event and it goes to a great cause.

She entered the lottery to get a spot in the race but unfortunately did not get selected.

Her sister-in-law Heidi Saleh made her aware that Security Jewelers in
Duluth was auctioning an entry on ebay with 100% of the proceeds to be donated to the Junior League of Duluth (which Heidi is a member of) to help rebuild the popular Play Front Park.

Melody bid and bid again and again until all the other bidders dropped out.

Melody is pictured with Jay Seiler, owner of Security Jewelers in front
of a replica of the check presented to the Junior League.

Every year Security Jewelers auctions off one of the entries it receives
as a Marathon Sponsor and donates all the proceeds to a local nonprofit.
