A benefit auction will be held Friday for Doug Sutherland and his family as he begins his battle with cancer.

Doug was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and will be going through chemotherapy treatments for six months.

The benefit will include a supper along with raffles, a silent auction, and live auction to raise money for the family’s expenses.

The Sutherland Family Benefit Auction will be held at the Knoxville Events Center beginning at 5:30pm.
