On Monday September 27, 2009 the Kuna FFA Chapter held the 10th annual Advisory Committee Scholarship Auction. The Kuna Agricultural Department had over 350 people attend the Barbecue and auction. There were more than 200 items donated for the auction by community members and local businesses. The highlight of the evening was when the crowd chose to provide donations for the Washington Leadership Conference. Because of the FFA supporters generosity, we will be able to send up to 12 members to our nation’s capital for this great conference. Additional money raised from the auction will be used for senior scholarships and FFA member travel scholarships to State FFA Leadership Convention and the State FFA Career Development Events. The auction raised approximately $22,500 – which well exceeded the Chapter’s goal of $12,000!
The Kuna FFA Chapter Advisory Committee sponsors this activity each year for the benefit of the students. We would also like to thank all of the businesses and individuals who donated to the auction as well as the individuals that purchased items. A very special thanks to Ted Wheeler and Chris Brown who donated their time and auctioneering talents to make our auction a success.
Every year, donations are made from businesses and community members to help with the silent and live auction. We would like to thank all the people that took the time to help the FFA through buying or donating the different items. Please see the extensive list below of the companies and individuals who supported the auction as donors.
