The Bruce Winkler Memorial Silent Auction
We are seeking your support as an auction item donor for the Bruce Winkler Memorial Silent Auction to be held during the 2013 Alberta Pork Congress. Bruce, a long time industry partner and an Alberta Pork Congress Board Member, lost a short but very aggressive battle with cancer last December. The auction was his idea, in fact he shared it with me only days before he passed away. We, the Alberta Pork Congress Board of Directors, have expanded on his creative ideas and are looking forward to implementing them this upcoming year.
This event will be held on Wednesday March 20, 2013 during the Alberta Pork Congress Annual Tradeshow. The item(s) that you donate will directly benefit the Alberta Cancer Fund. Even in times when the pork industry has struggled the industry gives back.
Items will be on display and open for bidding all day Wednesday on the trade show floor and then moved to the Awards Banquet for additional time sensitive bidding. The Silent Auction will come to an end during the awards banquet and the winners as well as an estimate of the total funds raised will be announced at the end of the evening. We are also currently coordinating the possibility of having members of Bruce's family in attendance during the Banquet.
A list of donators for the auction will be included at both the banquet and on the trade show floor.
The Bruce Winkler Memorial Silent Auction is organized by volunteers from the Alberta Pork Congress Board of Directors and all proceeds raised will be donated directly to the Alberta Cancer Fund.
