WAUKESHA — The Wisconsin FFA Alumni Association, Inc. is conducting two major fundraising events as a prelude to the upcoming 40th annual state convention and business meeting later this month in Waukesha. First is an online auction that is currently running and will close at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31. This auction features several agricultural items and a few non-agriculture options. 

This online auction is open to the public and can be found at https://www.auctionbyobrien.com/cgi-bin/mmlist.cgi?obrien19/category/ALL. Bidding information can also be found at that page.

The state Alumni Association is also hosting a raffle fundraiser, with the drawing to be held on Jan. 31 at 8:30 p.m. at the convention. Checks can be written out to “Wisconsin FFA Alumni.” 

People interested in tickets can contact their local FFA Alumni Chapter, any Wisconsin FFA Alumni Council members (found at https://wisconsinaged.org/alumni/council-directory/) or contact Executive Director Cheryl Steinbach at execdir@wisconsinffaalumni.org

All funds raised by the Association will be used to provide leadership conference scholarships or grants for the Agriculture Education departments and FFA chapters.
