Auction Catalog
Your Support Matters! We hope you enjoy the RJO Foundation Silent Auction & Raffle. Thanks to the support of our generous donors, we have many items for which you can bid. With your support, we look forward to another successful fundraising event for the RJO Foundation!
Welcome! Dear Friends, Welcome to the RJO Foundation Silent Auction & Raffle! We first want to thank all of our generous donors who contributed to the inaugural fundraising campaign at the RJO Buying Show in St. Louis. We were thrilled with the outpouring of support at our initial Gold for the Good campaign. Our giving members and vendors truly exceeded the initial expectations of the foundation. After just six months, the RJO Foundation is already making a difference in the lives of our members. This winter the Foundation was able to award eight $500 scholarships to RJO members, helping our next generation of retailers continue their education. This was in addition to building the initial endowment of the Foundation to ensure continued growth. We thank all of our donors who have supported this year’s kick-off campaign, the Hidden Treasures Silent Auction and Raffle. We also thank all of you who will support this campaign through the purchase of raffle tickets and bids. Without your support we wouldn’t be able to do what we do! Thank you again and have fun! Let the bidding begin! Cheers, The RJO Foundation Board
