A local law firm sponsored a Christmas Tree auction for charity on Friday.
18 trees and 18 wreaths that were decorated by local businesses were auctioned off for over $12,000.
The event was organized by Coughlin and Gerhart, which has an office on Lake Street in Owego. They say this year’s event raised 20 percent more than last year.
The businesses that decorated the trees and wreaths had the opportunity to choose which charities the money will go to.
