AGC Post Pandemic Getaway Fundraiser

December 8, 2020January 18, 2021 by Henry Kruger

In lieu of the Holiday Gala, the AGC has come up with an exciting new way for members to show their support for the E&R Foundation with its first ever and hopefully last Post Pandemic Getaway Fundraiser.

We could all use a getaway, once the pandemic is over, and the AGC is here to help! The AGC has partnered with Auction Packages to put together three spectacular vacations that will have you dreaming of your next adventure while supporting the dreams of all of the students supported by the E&R Foundation.

All vacations packages are good for two and a half years and will directly benefit the E&R Foundation. This year, instead of buying tickets to the Gala and bidding on the silent auction items, we are hoping that you will buy tickets for a chance to win one of these three fantastic trips.

Tickets are available for $100 and you may purchase as many tickets as you want – for each package. The drawing for the winners will take place during the AGC Annual Meeting on January 21, 2021.
