Angus Foundation Silent Auction Continues to Excel
Angus supporters of all ages came together at the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Des Moines, Iowa to support the 2008 Angus Foundation Silent Auction July 14-19, which grossed a record $14,206 in proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s education, youth and research activities. Individual donors and state Angus associations contributed 75 items to the 13th annual auction.

Individual Angus supporters and state Angus associations also generously donated other items to the Silent Auction, including original jewelry made by members of the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA), assorted gift baskets, sports memorabilia and various Angus collectibles.
From its inception in 1995, the Silent Auction has grown annually as a fundraiser that generates unrestricted financial support for various activities sponsored by the Angus Foundation, such as Raising the Bar officer training sessions, Cattlemen’s Boot Camps, bovine feed efficiency research, undergraduate and graduate scholarships.
The Angus Foundation was established in 1981 as a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 organization to support Angus education, youth and research. To learn more about the Angus Foundation and the programs it supports, call the Angus Foundation at 816-383-5100 or go to www.angusfoundation.org.
