🎉Giving Back at MSAE25: Silent Auction Raises Funds for Two Incredible Causes

The spirit of generosity was on full display at MSAE25! Thanks to the enthusiasm and support of our attendees, donors, and bidders, the MSAE25 Silent Auction raised a total of $5,395.00.

The proceeds will be split evenly between two meaningful causes:

• $2,697.50 to the Kevin A. Kelly Scholarship Program

• $2,697.50 to Project Feed the Kids

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who donated items, placed bids, and encouraged others to participate. Your generosity not only added fun and energy to the conference experience, it made a real and lasting impact.

_{About the Kevin A. Kelly Scholarship Program}

The Kevin A. Kelly Scholarship Program helps advance the association profession by providing financial assistance to association professionals seeking professional development opportunities through MSAE programs and events. Named in honor of Kevin’s lasting contributions to the association community, the fund supports learning, leadership growth, and access—ensuring more professionals can invest in their careers and strengthen the organizations they serve.

_{About Project Feed the Kids}

Project Feed the Kids is a Traverse City–based nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that children who rely on school meals do not go hungry when school is out of session. Through community partnerships and volunteer support, the organization provides nutritious meals to children during summer months—meeting an essential need and strengthening families across the region.

Thank you to our MSAE community for showing, once again, that when we come together, we can make a meaningful difference—both within our profession and beyond it.
