Foundation Events

Thank you to those who participated in this year’s virtual FNCE®, you helped the Foundation make a difference in the lives of hundreds of Academy members through our programs.

Foundation events included:

  • Virtual Foundation Booth hours to visit with staff, ask questions and learn more about your Foundation

  • Foundation Video Premieres featuring current programs and how they are making an impact throughout our profession
  • Register for the Foundation Virtual Silent Auction and Check Out All Our Great Items!

    The Foundation Silent Auction has always been one of the most popular live events at FNCE® each year, with a wide variety of items that helps raise thousands of dollars for the Foundation’s Annual Fund. This year, by going virtual, all Academy members participated with 24-hour mobile bidding. The Auction ran from October 15 to the 20th!
