Alliance, NE- On November 3, 2023, Scott and Sandy Dietrich presented the Box Butte Health Foundation (BBHF) with a check donation of $800 for Jane’s Closet. The proceeds were raised from a silent auction that took place at Sweet Pickin’s in downtown Alliance. Capital City Sports Cards of Lincoln, NE donated an autographed Turner Gill jersey, three warm-up tee shirts from Husker Volleyball player, Madi Kubik with an autographed photo for the silent auction. Steph’s Studio donated the wrap for the Turner Gill jersey to preserve its condition. The silent auction took place from October 18 – 30 and was promoted on KCOW by radio announcer Mike Glesinger and Facebook live events by Sweet Pickin’s owner Troy Unzicker. Chris Dietrich, Owner of Capital City Sports Cards gathered the items for the silent auction and donated them for the good of the cause, Jane’s Closet.
