NAME 50th Anniversary Banquet and Auction
The annual NAME auction is one of the highlights of the conference…a chance to have fun, bid on unique aquatic-themed items donated by NAME members and local businesses, and raise money for our mini-grant and scholarship fund! All of the funds raised at our annual silent and live auction go to support educators with scholarships and mini-grants to help them share the wonders of the world of water.
Even if you can’t join us for the full conference, please consider joining us for the evening auction and anniversary celebration on Saturday, October 3rd from 6:00 – 10:00 pm. It promises to be a fun evening of dinner, desserts, bidding and dancing, as well as a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and colleagues. Register for the conference or the NAME Gala Banquet & Auction here.
Have an auction item to donate? Fill out and submit the form below prior to arrival, or submit a form with your item at check-in. For more information about donations, please contact us at info@pacname.org. Here are some ideas for great “aquatic” auction items: jewelry; outdoor gear; any and all crafts/artwork; gift certificates for whale watching, fishing trips, bird watching, cabin/hotel/motel accommodations, or guided outdoor trips. There may be treasures in your attic just waiting for the NAME Auction! Solicitation of auction items on behalf of NAME is highly appreciated.
If you’re unable to attend but would still like to celebrate with us, a donation to our 50th Anniversary Conference Fund would be greatly appreciated. Your contribution directly supports conference scholarships and helps ensure a strong future for NAME.
