Robert B. Hensley of Bowling Green participates in a live auction Wednesday night at the Sloan Convention Center. The event benefits the Bowling Green-Warren County Community Foundation.

The Community Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity that allows people to establish permanent endowment funds within one large foundation. The

foundation awards the income generated by those funds. This past spring, more than $20,000 was given in grants to local nonprofits, according to the organization.
