This is the second year Brock and OPIRG have partnered on the event, Cronin said.<\/p>\n<p>Available work will include paintings, drawings and photographs. Last year, it raised $6,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d love to top that, but really, every dollar raised goes a long way toward students and community support,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The auction will be Friday, Dec. 2 from 8 to 10 p.m. at Rise Above restaurant and bakery at 120 St. Paul St., St. Catharines.
