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!
- Donate to our No Show Foundation Gala
Support the Academy Foundation. Cocktail Attire Optional, Pajamas Preferred!
While there will be no actual Foundation Gala to gather us all together, we still need your support. No need to buy a new, fancy dress, wear uncomfortable shoes or rent a tuxedo.
