Hardwood Forest Foundation Silent Auction
Every year, the NHLA Annual Convention & Exhibit Showcase provides the Hardwood Forest Foundation the opportunity to hold special fundraising events including the Silent Auction. Please stop by Booth 8 to preview this year’s auction items and place your bids. The final bidding will take place during the Grand Finale on Saturday, October 16.
The Hardwood Forest Foundation needs your donations to help make this year’s Silent Auction a success! Donating to the auction is a great way to support the Foundation and have fun at the NHLA Annual Convention. Last year’s event raised $8,000 and the Foundation hopes to exceed that amount this year.
All contributions are welcome – consider donating both products that interest your fellow colleagues professionally, as well as personally. Items should have a minimum value of US $25. Some popular donation items are: gift certificates to national restaurants or stores, themed gift baskets, original artwork, books, autographed sports items, electronics, jewelry, business services, and exclusive or unique items.
Recognition
For your donation, you will receive:
- Acknowledgement on the auction bid sheets
- Listing of your donation and name on the Silent Auction Event page on the NHLA Convention website
- Listing in the Silent Auction Catalog, distributed to every attendee (if confirmed by print date)
