Red and Wild Trek Themed Basket Helps To Raise Funds For A Good Cause!
On April 18th, 2019, members of the IKV Heart of Honor invaded the Red & Wild celebration in Lexington, Nebraska. You know the saying, "Beware Klingons Bearing Gifts?" Well, we didn't know that one either.
Red & Wild is an annual ladies night out event that is held in Lexington that culminates with a live auction for items donated by various businesses and organizations. The Heart of Honor donated a Star Trek themed basket that included burgers and shakes at a local restaurant, movie theater tickets, a bonus home movie night BluRay copy of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and four boxes of Earther's favorite movie candies. The basket was valued at $85 and auctioned for $65.
All in all, the entire auction raised $7500, all of which will benefit a young man who is suffering from Coat's Disease, a degenerative eye disease that causes blindness.
In the photo above, ship's treasurer, Benjamin, presents the basket to Heather Heinemann, publisher of the Lexington Clipper-Herald and the organizer of the event.
A huge quatlho' goes out to ship's members Benjamin, Jamie, and Jen for putting this together with short notice!
