On Saturday, April 15, McKinney Christian Academy had their annual Boots and Pearls Auction at Local Yocal Barbecue and Grill. The auction had a wide array of events that occurred throughout the day. There was both a live and silent auction and the funds were raised for MCA’s campus security as well as equipment for STEM classes. There was also a flag race held to see which college flag would be hung on campus. The winning flag was Texas Christian University. Later in the auction, Dr. Rick Rigsby spoke on the importance of Christian education and a quality foundation for children. Also featured was 2007 alumni Adrian Johnston whose band sang for the audience. By the end of the auction, over 250 people attended the auction and a total of $190,000 was raised. “Overall the event was a great success thanks to our committee who worked all year and our wonderful families and staff who came out to support,” said Connie Gibson, “God has guided this event for 30 years and we look forward to more years with his guidance and blessing.”
