Posted: Updated:
By Lisa Adams - email

General Electric Transportation is helping to support three organizations who care for children with the 18th annual Bid for Kids event.  The event at the Bayfront Convention Center drew a big crowd.  The benefit included dinner and both live and silent auctions.

More than twenty packages were up for bid, from a kayak excursion at Presque Isle to a personalized ride on the G-E test track to a Cleveland Cavs game package.  Money raised through the auction benefits three local children's charities, Shriners Hospitals for Children, the Make-a-Wish foundation and the Boys & Girls clubs.  Last year the event raised $38-thousand dollars.
