The ARA Foundation Charity Auction and Reception will be held tomorrow evening from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Orange County Convention Center North/South Building — SA1 (by the event segment exit), in Orlando.
Dozens of items will be up for bid during the auction. The ARA Foundation will reinvest 100 percent of the auction proceeds into programs that benefit the rental community, including educational scholarships, employee training assistance, disaster relief, improvement projects that give back to our communities while raising the profile of rental and mentor/mentee relationships within the industry.
Those attending this year’s Charity Auction and Reception also will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for a 50/50 raffle to help support Foundation programs (need not be present to win).
A bid number is required to attend the auction, which will be facilitated by Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (America). Participants can pick up a bid book at Registration, at the Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (America) Booth No. 2046, at the ARA Foundation Booth No. 3718 — or at the auction.
