b'MRCA Foundation Auction Night That Prom was the Bomb!By Megan MillerThisstaffmemberisexcitedtoreportthatthethemeforthis years Foundation Auction Fundraiser was well received by the MRCA Conference and Expo participants.We had great auction itemsandweraisedaninspiringamountofmoneyforthe Foundation, and well get to that part, but the outfitsoh the outfits. Lets take it from the top.I want to thank every person that went out, found a truly awesome ensemble for Prom, packed it in their suitcase, drug it to conference, ironed it, and wore it to the event.Your dedication did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. It is people like you that push a fun event over the fence into an awesome event.I also want to thank everyone who went the extra mile to purchase a Foundation corsage to put with that stunning ensemble. The event itself was also beautiful.There were plenty of smiles, handshakes, introductions, and hugs.The silent auction brought in a very healthy amount, but the energetic and competitive bidding in the live auction really demonstrated the groups support of the MRCA Foundation.This year, the MRCA family took that extra step again, and had a matching gift challenge finale.Our thanks goes out to MRCA Legal Counsel, Gary Auman, for his matching gift challenge of $5,000.The call was answered and then some. The crowning glory of the evening was the announcement of the Prom King and Queen. It was an intense battle of ballots, but the people chose incoming MRCA President, Fred Horner, and MRCA First Lady, Dawn Horner, as their King and Queen of the night! All told, the ballots, the corsages, the silent and live auctions, and the matching gift challenge raised $56,000.00 for the MRCA Foundation!Thank you to everyone who donated to the auction, and to everyone 20 see more photos on'
