Description

Smyrna High School’s Business Professionals of America (BPA), Career and Technical Student Organization and our Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC), are hosting our 4th Annual Quarter Auction on Friday, March 1, 2024, in the Smyrna High School cafeteria. We anticipate approximately 300 guests at this function.

The proceeds will go towards helping to subsidize costs for the students traveling for both BPA and JROTC.  For BPA, the funds will go toward the registration, travel, and hotels for the BPA State and National Leadership Conferences. The State Conference will be held at Chase Center on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. The cost per student is $104.00. The National Leadership Conferences (NLC) will be held in May in Chicago, IL.  The average cost per student to attend NLC conferences is $900 each.  For AFJROTC, the funds will subsidize the costs of Drill and Color Guard competitions and equipment, Raider Team competitions, and the corps’ field trip to Washington DC to visit the memorials including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. To make these events as meaningful and educational as possible, we will need your help!

 Please consider supporting the auction by donating gift certificates, merchandise, or services.  In exchange, you will receive excellent community exposure and advertising.  Your company name, address, phone number, website, and donation will be listed in the Quarter Auction Brochure that will be given to each person attending the event.  In addition, we will recognize and thank each contributor during and after the event for their donation(s). Your donation is tax deductible. The Smyrna School District Tax Exempt ID is 51-6000279.
