While you’re attending this year’s Agricultural Media Summit/IFAJ Congress you’ll have a chance to support student attendees and ARC. In fact, you can help out right now by donating an item for the auction.
Auction proceeds will go toward underwriting a lowered student registration fee for AMS, thus ensuring participation by the maximum number of potential industry newcomers. We need your help in gathering great items for the auction! Please donate an item to the auction. Remember, in addition to the traditional AMS attendees, we’ll also have more than a
hundred international visitors. And, we promise to find every opportunity possible to share news about your generosity.
We ask that you donate an item or items that value at least $50 each, and we’ll need to know your donation plans before July 29. You may actually bring the items when you come, or just ship to us prior to the event. We must receive all items(or know they are coming with you by July 29.
The items can range in size and scope. Den Gardner has donated a one week stay at a Florida condo, subject to availability. Mace Thornton of the American Farm Bureau Federation has donated two autographed Michael Martin Murphy CDs, and Amy McDonald of McDonald Marketing Communications has donated three cases of Dublin Dr Pepper (made with pure cane sugar). Jeri Omernik of Rocky Mountain Marketing Communications has donated a western art coffee table book.
If you would prefer, we’ll gladly accept your cash donations … with which we will buy some “Texas flavored” items for the auction.Want to donate a Stetson cowboy hat, a pair of cowboy boots or some western décor or jewelry? Leave the legwork to us, and just send us the request and funding! We will give you and your company full credit for the item, providing paperwork as needed.
Remember, you can deduct donations to ARC!
