(KMZA)---The 44th Annual Baileyville Benefit will take place this weekend at Nemaha Central High School in Seneca.

This year’s benefit will support four area families facing medical challenges: Theo Nesbitt, Lochlan Rethman, Kirt and Anne Wertenberger, and Rory Mellies. In addition to helping these families, the tournament traditionally provides smaller grants to more than 40 other families throughout the year.

The weekend event will feature basketball and volleyball tournaments running all day Saturday and Sunday, drawing teams and spectators from across the region in a long-standing show of community support.

A silent auction will be set up throughout the building during the weekend, with bidding concluding Sunday afternoon. A live auction is scheduled to begin at approximately 5 p.m. Sunday evening.

Concessions will be available throughout the event, including a variety of homemade items prepared by local residents.

For those unable to attend in person, an online auction is also available. Online bidding closes at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
