FGA's On-line Auction A Great Success!

The FGA's on-line auction, hosted by Global Greyhound.com last weekend (August 20/22, 2010) was a great success and we thank everyone who participated. GG Administrator Wendy Brotherton did a terrific job setting up each individual lot with all information available to assist bidders.

All proceeds benefit the Florida Greyhound Association Legislative Fund in our efforts to protect live racing in Florida and to face the on going attack by Grey2K on our sport. For more information:
