Assistance with UNITE auction commended

The editor:

An auction of forfeited items conducted on Feb. 16 at the London Community Center raised $30,583 to be used by Operation UNITE for anti-drug efforts in Southern and Eastern Kentucky.

Several thousand people came from great distances to see what was offered. In all, 852 people registered to bid on the 424 available lots. The UNITE staff was amazed and excited at such an outpouring of support, and could easily have been overwhelmed.

Without a doubt, the professionalism and dedication displayed by the staff of Ford Brothers, Inc., contributed greatly to keeping everything flowing smoothly.

Danny Ford, Sam Ford, Devon Ford, Billy Wayne Bryant and Jeff Cromer volunteered five hours of their time to conduct the auction and keep track of the winning bids. I received many positive comments about the quality and experience of these talented auctioneers. But their service did not end there. The Ford Brothers staff allowed UNITE to use their mailing list to notify potential bidders, provided invaluable advice on how to organize the auction, and provided supplies.

Ford Brothers has set a standard for business involvement in fighting substance abuse. If every business would become as engaged, the problems we face throughout the region could be solved in short order. They have established an exemplary standard for others to follow.

If you would like to learn how you or your business could become a partner with UNITE, contact our staff toll-free at 1-866-OP-UNITE (1-866-678-6483) or visit our website at www.operationunite.org.
