The Sport Management (SPM) Club at Syracuse University announced McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center as the beneficiary of its 12th Annual Charity Sports Auction. Slated for December 10 in the backcourt of the Carrier Dome, silent bidding on hundreds of auction items, including sports memorabilia and hands-on experiences, electronics and tickets to major sporting events, will take place in conjunction with the SU men’s basketball game vs. Boston University. Doors will open and bidding will begin at 10:00 a.m. and run through until the buzzer announcing the second half of the game. The SPM Club is a student-run organization in Falk College’s Sport Management Department. Over the last 11 years, the Sport Management Club has raised over $320,000 for local charities.
“We are thrilled that the Sport Management Club has chosen The McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center as the beneficiary of this year’s Charity Sports Auction. The funds raised from this event will stay in Onondaga County, helping provide services to hundreds of abused children, putting them on a path of healing,” said Linda Cleary, Executive Director.
McMahon/Ryan is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to ending child abuse through intervention and education. The organization offers a safe, child-friendly process for abused children and their families, supported by a committed, professional team specializing in the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse.
