The second annual Barrett-Jackson auction took place again this year at the Orange County Fairgrounds. And, just like last year's event, the kick off dinner was a huge success. The "Drive the Dream Gala" benefited Childhelp which was founded in 1959 by Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson. Master of Ceremonies Erin Murphy kept the program rolling that included special presentations to key supporters Karen and Barry Meguiar, Jacquie and Michael Casey, and Michelle Lund -The Sharon D. Lund Foundation. Jim Nye handled the live auction action with "Stealing Angels" and American Idol finalist Casey James taking on the entertainment for the evening. It was a great night for a great cause. And thank you Sara and Yvonne for the 50 plus years of service helping children around the world.
