Welcome to the 2023 Hammond Auction, Ubuntu!
Hammond eloquently captures the meaning of this year’s theme, Ubuntu, a South African word emphasizing the importance of a group or community. Tonight’s auction is about our community, and how out of this community, we are all a part of something bigger.
