The 14th Annual Silent Auction Fundraiser was held by University of Washington graduate student Saethra Fritscher at the 2017 Annual ABS meeting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We raised a total of $571, with $42.00 to the Barlow Award, $65 to the Latin American Initiatives Fund, and $464 to the Graduate Student Research Award. Thank you to all who participated.
We look forward to another excellent fundraising opportunity at our 56th Annual ABS meeting in Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This year we will have a special category to raise money to aid our Puerto Rican colleagues in replacing their research materials damaged by Hurricane Maria. Anybody wishing to send donations ahead of their arrival at the conference or those wishing to donate but not able to attend should contact [email protected] by May 1, 2018. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the Auction this year, please email Patty Brennan at [email protected].
