The St. Edward’s University Police Department will hold a silent auction this month during which students can bid on bicycles and lost and found items that have been collected from the past school year.

The auction will be held on Sept. 29 in the Ragsdale Center between 8 a.m. and noon. The minimum bid on bicycles will be $15.

The profits from the bike auction will go to Campus Ministry. The profits from the lost and found auction will go to the Campus Community Emergency Response Team, which trains people in basic disaster response skills.

“Some of the bikes that were abandoned may be cases of lost keys or forgotten combinations,” Gilroy said. “The bicycle registration program is confidential and can be very helpful to students when taken advantage
