The three charities that will benefit from this event are The Children's Miracle Network, The Make A Wish Foundation and The Marrow Foundation.

There are forty lots to be auctioned off with a total retail value of well over $1100.

The second annual Ricky Craven Snowmobile ride for charity will be held on January 30th in Greenville, Maine. The ride will circle around Moosehead Lake, which is about a 75-mile ride.
