Liberty High School softball players are usually busy getting their hands dirty on the field, but on Saturday, March 8, they will be busy dishing up plates of spaghetti for the team's annual fundraiser and auction.

Doors will open at 5 p.m. for hungry attendees to feast on pasta, dressed in sauce donated by The Old Spaghetti Factory, and other fixings prepared by team parents and volunteers.

Guests can buy packets of bingo cards for $10, with the games beginning at 6 p.m. No need to bring your own daubers. The team will provide everything and prizes will be given to the lucky bingo winners.

The event will also have a silent auction, with items including a two-night stay in Seaside, restaurant gift cards and Liberty High School paraphernalia.

All of the money from the auction is used for field maintenance, gear, uniforms and travel expenses for away games. Last year, the auction raised around $4,500.

This is the team's biggest fundraising event of the year. After making it to the second round of the Class 5A state playoffs last year, the girls are looking forward to starting off strong this season with community support from their annual dinner and auction.

The event will be held Friday, March 8, at the Liberty High School gym on 21945 N.W. Wagon Way in Hillsboro. Doors open at 5 p.m.
