The Taney County 100 Club was once again the recipient of the generosity of Jim and Kathy Cox, owners of the Branson Auction.
On Thursday night, prior to the auto auction, a VIP Charity Auction was held to raise money for the Taney County 100 Club, an organization that was created to provide financial assistance to families of law enforcement officers, firefighters and first responders who have lost their lives or been seriously injured in the line of duty.
A total of 20 items were auctioned off during Thursday's benefit auction, with over $14,000 raised for the Taney County 100 Club.
The auction featured a 1970 MGB, personally donated by Jim and Kathy Cox, which brought in $7,500.
This year, a Springfield Armory Hellcat semi-automatic handgun with a custom cerakote by Branson Cerakote was raffled off, as well. Shane Coker of Forsyth was the raffle winner.
During the VIP Charity Auction, both Jim and Kathy Cox were named lifetime Board Members with the Taney County 100 Club and were presented with embroidered 100 jackets.
