Silent Auction
Did you know…
Since 2002 AHEAD has awarded over $35,000 in Scholarships to students with disabilities and to members of AHEAD through funds raised by the annual Silent Auction.
We hope you will participate in this vital endeavor.
Each year during the AHEAD Conference a committee of volunteers operates a Silent Auction to raise funds for AHEAD’s scholarship programs. We hope you will play a major role in the success of the AHEAD conference through participation in the Silent Auction – both as a donor – and bidder! Funds raised during the auction are used exclusively for student and member scholarships.
Please don’t sit this one out! There is plenty of time to ‘hustle’ up donations to be auctioned off during the conference. Please keep in mind prizes that are easy to carry home. We suggest the following types of donations for AHEAD’S Silent Auction:
Items for Travel & Trips
