PENNSYLVANIA, USA — The 23rd annual Anne Fund Sports Memorabilia Auction returned to Lebanon to help local families in need with cancer relief.

Many came out in full force to support which is always a testament to how many people love giving back

"Cancer just effects so many so it's well supported for the most part," said Gerhart. 

"This type of event or anything like this usually struggles after a ten year period. They don't really last that long, and the fact that we are sitting at number 23 is kind of remarkable."

Some first time bidders, along with yearly participants were in attendance. So far, the group has raised more then $370,000 in total. It's always an event looked forward by everyone.

"My walls are covered with 23 years worth of Toms stuff," said David Potena.

 "My clients like it they like looking at that kind of stuff I just look at items and it's always fun to bid against Tom." 

This year's event was held at the Hebron Banquet hall. 

All proceeds benefit the WellSpan Sechler Family Cancer Center. Other impressive items included a Broncos' helmet signed by Peyton Manning, as well as a signed AJ Brown Eagles' helmet.
