AASV Foundation holds successful 2014 auction

The lively foundation auction raised approximately $100,715! This tremendous effort eclipsed the $100,000 goal set by the auction committee, resulting in the foundation receiving an additional $25,000 through the incredible generosity of Mary Lou Hogg and MVP Laboratories. The money raised supports foundation programs, including student travel stipends, research projects, scholarships, student externships, summer internships, awards, and other opportunities to enhance the personal and professional aspects of swine veterinary medicine.

Auctioneer and AASV Executive Director Dr Tom Burkgren called the auction with the assistance of Dr Shamus Brown and Dr Jess Waddell. This year’s auction also included a raffle in which participants purchased tickets for a chance to win one of four fabulous prizes. The raffle netted $17,800 for the foundation. The foundation thanks all those who participated in the auction by bidding on or donating items, as well as those who served on the auction committee chaired by Dr Daryl Olsen.

A special thanks goes to the ring men: Shamus Brown, Tom Burkgren, Terry Metcalf, Darrell Neuberger, David Reeves, Craig Rowles, Jess Waddell, and John Waddell, who kept the bids coming, and the following, whose behind-the-scenes and front-end help were invaluable: Wes Johnson, Kay Kimpston-Burkgren, Sue Kimpston, Karen Menz, Karen Richardson, Lee Schulteis, Sue Schulteis, Tina Smith, and Harry Snelson.

An extra-special thanks goes out to Lee and Sue Schulteis for driving the truck and trailer containing all the auction items and meeting materials from Perry, Iowa, to Dallas and back again.

The AASV Foundation would like to acknowledge all those donors and bid winners without whom none of this would be possible.
