Washington, D.C- the Washington Mystics, in partnership with corporate partner Sibley Memorial Hospital, held a post-game auction on Sunday, August 30, following the team’s 81-75 victory over the Minnesota Lynx.

We are extremely appreciative to all who participated and we look forward to an even bigger and better auction in 2010.”
