The raffle and silent auction are a significant part of our fundraising at this event.  We have a treasure-trove of fantastic items available to bid and will announce the winners early in the afternoon, so bid early and often.  We accept checks, cash or credit cards. 

We strongly encourage, and truly appreciate, teams who engage their coworkers, friends and family in fundraising.  To get a jump on your donation, please consider collecting funds prior to the day of the event, holding a raffle during the event, or some other creative way to involve as many folks as possible in supporting this worthy cause.

The funds raised at this event enable the Foundation to provide financial aid to individuals and families in our industry faced with medical expenses beyond their means.

Thank you for your continued support!

See you there!
