Let's have a Grand Ole Auction, Y'all!

AASV Foundation Fundraising Auction
Monday, February 26, 2024
AASV's 55th Annual Meeting

Y’all bid now, you hear?

Get ready!
Bidding will open soon on the many items so generously donated for the 2024 AASV Foundation fundraising auction. This event is the key fundraiser to support the foundation’s annual disbursements of research grants, scholarships, externship grants, debt relief, and more.

Get set!
Take a look at aasv.org/foundation/2024/auctionlist.php and prepare to bid! There is something for everyone, from trips, sporting events, and household décor to artwork, handcrafted items, and pig collectibles.

Go!
Silent auction bidding opens in February. As in recent years, the silent auction will be conducted entirely online using the popular ClickBid site. Anyone can bid anytime until the auction closes at 7:00 pm CST on February 26. Donors will ship or deliver items to the winning bidders after the auction.

The live auction will be conducted at the Gaylord Opryland immediately following the Awards Reception on Monday evening, February 26. Bid in person or contact foundation@aasv.org to submit bids or to make arrangements to bid remotely on live auction items.

Let’s make this a Grand Ole Auction, y’all!
Remember, when you bid in the foundation auction, you are bidding on much more than a trip to a fun event or an item to display in your home. You are bidding to support research that will open a window on new information to help you understand and address the latest disease challenges. You are bidding on developing a veterinary student into a colleague ready to join your practice or research team. You are bidding on reducing the debt of the young swine veterinarian getting started in their career. You are bidding on helping a seasoned colleague (or yourself!) pursue advanced training.

Look past the “market value” of the auction item to see the true value of your bid: Priceless!

Y’all bid now, you hear?
