MONTAGUE – The Siskiyou Heat ASA softball teams held their annual fundraising dinner and auction at the Montague Community center last Saturday. Approximately 300 people attended and nearly $8,000 was raised. The money is used to pay for equipment, travel, tournament fees, and other expenses for the various Heat teams.

After attendees enjoyed a tri tip dinner prepared by Joe Spini, there was a lively dessert auction and an auction for services and merchandise. A Berry Truffle made by Sandy Luetke fetched $140 during the dessert auction, and was purchased by Troy Graves. The two auctions accounted for about $4000 of the funds raised.

The Siskiyou Heat players and organizers expressed their gratitude to the community and their sponsors.

“Special thanks to Mt Shasta Resort, Timber Products, Pepsi Cola of Mt Shasta, Price Less Foods, The Tackle Shop and Brian and Heather Wagy for their generous donations. Also, a big appreciation to the community for their generous support of the Siskiyou Heat,” said Donna Cruz.
