Laramie, Wyo. - The 31^st annual Cowboy Joe Club Auction, sponsored by Infinity Power and Controls, held on Oct. 27 at Little America Hotel & Resort in Cheyenne raised a new record of $490,000 for Wyoming Athletics.

Nearly 400 Wyoming Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athlete scholarships will benefit directly from the revenue raised from this event. Proceeds are matched by the State of Wyoming in their commitment to Wyoming Athletics.

"To have the auction sold out a month in advance is a testament to its popularity.  We continue to be amazed and impressed with our incredibly generous Cowboy Joe members and fans who make this event so successful!" Randy Welniak, Sr. Associate Athletic Director said.

The annual auction, historically the Club's single-most successful fundraising event of the year, was sold out once again. The evening included a silent auction, dinner and live auction with over 32 items. Kevin McKinney, Sr. Associate Athletic Director served as emcee, while Lex Madden served as auctioneer during the live auction.

A formal presentation took place at the Cowboy football game versus CSU on Nov. 4.

The 32^nd Annual Cowboy Joe Auction is set for fall 2018 in Cheyenne, Wyo., and the date will be announced next spring.
