Florida State's College of Law is hosting its 14th Annual "Women's Symposium Silent Auction."

The yearly event benefits the The Refuge House, providing aid to battered women and children.

Bidding started Thursday morning as students lined up to take a peek at this year's auction items.

Organizers say 62 businesses and 31 FSU professors have donated 10,000 dollars worth of items.

Prizes range from free sushi dinners to even concert tickets with your favorite professor to any venue in Tallahassee, and organizers say there's something for everybody.

"The students really love getting to know their professors outside of class, and the businesses have been so generous. There's so much stuff for them," said Stacy Cleveland, Event Chair.

The auction will go until 9 o'clock tonight, and will also feature a wine and cheese reception.

Coordinators hope to raise over $5,000 this year.
