Auctions Update

Going once, going twice…

The Club Foundation held its ninth Annual Benefit Auctions at the CMAA World Conference on Club Management in Honolulu, Hawaii in February of 2006. The Foundation puts on this yearly event to raise money for its Scholarship and Grant Program. Combined, in 2006, the Silent and Live Auctions raised more than $40,000 for this indispensable program.

The Club Foundation Live Auction was held on the afternoon of March 1 and was conducted by Duane Troyer of Troyer & Associates, based in Goshen, Indiana. The Silent Auction took on a new format by going completely online. Bidding opened on January 16, 2006 and closed during the CMAA Conference on February 28, 2006.

More than 110 items were available for bid in the auctions, including unique trips to destinations such as Napa Valley, Hilton Head and Boca Raton. One-of-a-kind sports memorabilia signed by Phil Simms, Michele Wie and Donovan McNabb, golf cars and equipment, linens, jewelry and china were also up for bid. All of the items and packages were graciously donated by vendors, CMAA chapters, members and other individuals. Below is a complete listing of all donors to The Club Foundation’s ninth annual benefit auctions:
