A special thanks to everyone who participated in the NEF Live Auction. There was electric energy in the room as attendees raised their paddle high creating a bidding war over several sought-after items. NEF’s auctioneer, Roger Carlsen, kept the crowd entertained and the bids going up totaling over $27,000.
In addition to that, NOMMA members donated $12,650 in tax-deductible contributions. The proceeds from the auction and the donations help NEF to support education programs and services for the ornamental and miscellaneous metals industry. This includes providing grants to chapters or NOMMA members who want to host an educational program and covering the expense of education session recordings at METALfab.
NEF is also committed to addressing the needs of skilled labor for the industry. NEF will be identifying an educational institution that is training our future workforce with plans to support that institution with a financial contribution.
We thank everyone who contributed. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, use the “DONATE NOW” button below.
