Fueled by Generosity, Silent Auction Raises $11,000 for Angus Foundation
The annual silent auction raises funds to support Angus Foundation's mission of funding education, youth and research.
July 11, 2025
With the spirit of Route 66 fueling the fun, the Angus Foundation’s mission was driven forward during the 2025 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS). The annual silent auction raised nearly $11,000 in unrestricted funds to support education, youth and research through numerous scholarships, conferences and research projects.
“The silent auction is a time-honored tradition that has been going on for over 20 years,” saysJimmy Stickley, Angus Foundation donor coordinator. “It amazes us each and every year the dedication and creativity individuals and states showcase in an effort to raise money for the Angus Foundation.”
The silent auction was open from June 30-July 4, with items available for viewing in person at NJAS and bidding available online via the auction platform Angus Live. The auction featured 100 lots, ranging from gift baskets of state-themed products to vintage Angus ads, native American jewelry and a custom “Angus, The Business Breed,” cowhide rug.
