Please donate an item to our Annual Auction and Raffle. This popular event has offered antiques, jewelry, pottery, art glass, sterling silver and other collectibles. Members have also donated top quality handspun yarn, handwoven shawls, and autographed copies of member's new books. Other items that can be easily shipped or transported are also welcome.


The Aging & Public Health Section's Auction and Raffle will be held this year in Washington, D.C., during the Award Reception on Monday evening, Oct. 31, 2011. All proceeds support the Section Award endowments, including the New Investigator Research Award, the International Research Award, the Minority Issues Research Award, the A&PH Section Student Research Award, and the Rural Health Research Award. Given historically low interest rates, we need to generate more funds to be able to continue to recognize important research through these awards. 
Last year our Auction raised $1,600, and the Raffle raised $650. All was added to our award endowments.


If you have any items to donate, please contact Section Development Co-Chair Gerry Eggert at gmeggert@aol.com or phone at (585) 278-6070. Gerry can give you an idea of your item's suitability for our Auction/Raffle and provide instructions on how to get your donation to the auction/raffle. 
Many thanks for your interest and participation.
