The annual KENW-TV auction will be extended through Saturday, according to Sheryl Borden, KENW-TV director of marketing.

The online auction was scheduled to end Monday, but was extended because there were 92 items remaining, Borden said. 

Through Monday, the auction raised $36,000. The goal for this year’s auction is $55,000, Borden said.

Last year, the auction raised $46,000.

People can begin to bid on the items today, Borden said. The auction ends at 9 p.m. Saturday.

“We are hoping that the bids on the remaining items will bring us closer to our goal,” Borden said.

The station’s biggest fundraiser is used toward the KENW-TV programing budget for the next fiscal year, Borden said.

KENW-TV is a Public Broadcasting Service station based at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales.

It was the second year that the auction was conducted online.
