HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Cosmosphere Onward and Upward telethon and auction is off to a good start.
The fundraiser for the space museum brought in $15,384 on Sunday. Half of that was a match from the Patterson Family Trust out of Kansas City. The Cosmosphere will continue to take donations through the end of the week and all will be matched by the trust.
You can make a donation at cosmo.org and clock on the “give today” icon.

A second block will then come up for bid until 7 p.m. October 13th and the third block will go up for auction until October 18th at 5 p.m.
