The winner, Todd Gelbaugh (Physician\u2019s Mobile X-Ray), put in the winning bid of $5,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also offer another special thanks to Tim McLaughlin (Blink) who won the 50\/50 and, with the wave of a hand, immediately donated the $1,860 in winnings back to Concordia&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preliminary results show that this
