"Whether it is a sales rep of a company trying to achieve a Top Salesman award, or a high school student who is looking at a Hall of Fame plaque in their school, that person is saying, 'That's going to be me up there someday. They are the leaders of today and tomorrow.'"

Support the ARIEF Silent Auction: Donate Today

ARIEF Silent Auction bidder

One highlight of the annual ARA International Awards Market is the Awards and Recognition Industry Education Foundation (ARIEF) Silent Auction, which will take place Wednesday, March 7 to Friday, March 9, near the show registration area. ARIEF committee members and volunteers host the two-day event to raise money for the foundation. Products are displayed in the registration area where attendees can view and bid throughout the show. There is also a 50/50 raffle where the winner gets half of the money generated from ticket sales. All proceeds go directly to ARIEF; whose main purpose is to provide financial assistance to students, affiliated with ARA member companies, who wish to pursue an education in any field of their choice. Companies are encouraged to donate products and equipment to the ARIEF Silent Auction. If your company is interested in contributing, please download a donation form.
