Silent Auction Items
More than 40 items, from hard-to-find tickets for sporting events to valuable gift certificates, tools and products for the farm, will be up for bid during the silent auction sponsored by the Professional Dairy Producers Foundation at the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin 2010 Business Conference in Madison, Wis. March 16-17. The auction, along with the annual Live Auction, raises funds to support dairy educational programs.
Individuals interested in bidding are encouraged to attend the March auction. Business Conference registration is available at www.pdpw.org. A full list of the items that comprise PDPF’s silent auction can be found online at www.pdpw.org or at www.dairyfoundation.org.
Auction Chair and dairy producer JoAnn Maedke explains that funds raised from the silent auction go toward programs and initiatives that fall into three main categories: endeavors focused on earning and keeping public trust, engaging and equipping dairy producers with communication skills and educational opportunities and building an endowment fund so the dairy industry can respond quickly to emerging issues.
“Supporters have been extremely generous, and, as a result, people will have lots of items to choose from and will probably have a difficult time deciding which ones will get their bids,” says Maedke.
The Professional Dairy Producers Foundation was established in 2002 by Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin as a vehicle to raise funds and award grants for educational programs within dairy communities. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) entity. For more information on programs funded and ways to donate, visit www.dairyfoundation.org.
