AGA PDC Silent Auction—More Than
$39,000 Raised
By: Renee Gilman, CGFM
Who would’ve thought that we could
top last year’s raffle proceeds of $22,000? Honestly? Not me. I
really thought our goal of $25,000 was untouchable. Well, obviously
each and every one of you disagreed. This year, we raised more than
$39,000 in just over three days in Nashville, TN.
Thank you so much for your
continued support of our community service project. More than 60 AGA
chapters donated prizes to the raffle—everything from gift cards to
time shares—and 19 participated in the Chapter Challenge. In
addition to donating prizes, those chapters added more than $7,000
to our total. We simply cannot conduct these raffles without the
support of the chapters. In addition, we had contributions from more
than 20 of our great sponsors and exhibitors.
The money
will be divided among the following charities:
Habitat for
Humanity, 31 percent; Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, 23
percent; American Heart Association, 19 percent; American Cancer
Society, 17 percent; and Ronald McDonald House, 10 percent.

A special thanks from me to Nichole
Curtiss and Deborah Loveless, CGFM, from the Nashville Chapter, the
AGA National Office staff, especially Jessica Jones, Ada Phillips,
Julie Cupp and Susan Fritzlen, and Linda Chilcoat and Eva Williams,
CGFM. Without your never-ending support, I would not have made it.
Thank you again to all the chapters, sponsors and exhibitors would
made this community service project such a huge success.
Our goal for next year’s PDC in
Atlanta is $25,000. Start saving now!
