NAFA
invites 2013 I&E exhibitors to participate in a Silent Auction to
help raise money for the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. As a
matter of fact, St. Jude's gets one hundred percent from the proceeds of
this event.
NAFA's Silent Auction is a traditional favorite of the expo attendees.
Joining fellow exhibitors in donating an item to the auction will help
them gain added exposure on the expo floor, as conference attendees
visit their booths to take a closer look at the items they've placed
up-for-bid. Examples of past popular items placed up-for-bid include an
Apple iPad 2; 22" LCD Color HD TV; NASCAR Fan Package; Nook Color
eReader; Burton Snowboard 156, Kinect + Kinect Sports Game; Bridgestone
Golf Bag; Coach Travel Ensemble; Dell Mini Netbook; Nintendo Wii
Console; a $100 ExxonMobil Gas Card, and two $250 Master Cards.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from NAFA's 2013 Silent Auction will
go directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to aid their
mission of finding cures for cancer and other pediatric diseases through
research and treatment.
In 1962, entertainer Danny Thomas founded St. Jude with a mission to save the lives of
children everywhere. He fervently believed that "no child should die in
the dawn of life." Thomas wanted to create a hopeful place that was
accepting of all children whether or not the family could afford
treatment.
Today, St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research hospital where no
family is ever turned away due to an inability to pay and no family ever
pays St. Jude for anything. For fifty years, St. Jude has advanced
treatment of such deadly childhood diseases as cancer, saving the lives
of children across America. Research at St. Jude has changed how the
world treats leukemia, brain tumors, and sickle cell disease, helping
push survival rates for childhood cancers from less than twenty percent
in 1962 to almost eighty percent today.

Previous auctions have been well received and this years' auction looks
to be even better, but it is the generosity of exhibitors and the
donated silent auction prizes that truly put the event over the top. The
silent auction is fun for everyone and can be a great conversation
starter at an exhibitor's booth. The return-on-investment is hard to
ignore: Silent Auction participation leads attendees to the booths,
generating more leads, with the proceeds from the auction supporting a
worthy cause.
Participating in NAFA's 2013 Silent Auction is easy and, in addition to
being for a good cause, the Silent Auction is an excellent
lead-generating opportunity for I&E exhibitors:
Please note: your company name, your booth number, and a brief
description of your auction item will be provided to every fleet manager
attending I&E as long as your Silent Auction Participation Form is
received at NAFA by Monday, March 25.
