The popularity of the World Champion New York Yankees helped the Credit Union Association of New York raise $9,750 for its Credit Union Political Action Committee.
The association's silent auction, which was held as part of its annual meeting, raised $300 more than last year. The single biggest item was a pair of tickets behind home plate to a game at Yankee Stadium, which sold for $400.
The proceeds will be used to help the PAC make contributions to candidates for the New York State Legislature and for statewide candidates.
