Oswego, NY — Scholarships are an important part of college life because they reward students for excellent work and achievement, or provide aid to other students who need the financial bonus to help further their school career. One of these scholarships is the Johnson Hall scholarship and it’s raised at a special event in Sheldon Hall called the Bidding Bonanza (or Bidbon for short).

Last week was the 21st annual Bidding Bonanza with dozens of items up for auction and several themed baskets being placed into a raffle. From HD televisions and beats headphones to Ozfest tickets and various gift cards, Bidbon had a lot of items for students to bid on and gathered a lot of attention from potential bidders with all proceeds from this event go to the Johnson Hall Scholarship.

The event is hosted by Johnson Hall residents and RA’s with the main auctioneer, Jerimiah Butler, being a first year student.

“It’s a fun event for everybody, we sold a lot of great stuff tonight, I even got these beats hadphones.” He commented.

The auction raised over $600 dollars for the scholarship which will be given to a lucky Johnson Hall resident next semester.
