With COVID moving everything in 2020 to a virtual format, the Davis Memorial Foundation has put together a special auction experience that will continue to raise funds for scholarships! The Davis Trustees have been working hard with the amazing Western Roofing Expo staff to provide an amazingly fun auction experience. Replacing the golf and clays tournament and the well-known WRE Lively Auction and Welcome party, this year’s virtual auction will raise funds for scholarships while providing a fun online experience.
The trustees know that we are in this together...and with the roofing industry’s help they are planning on making the 2020 goal of $50,000 which will result in ten $5,000 academic scholarships granted in 2021. New this year is the opportunity to “NAME YOUR” Scholarship! Industry professionals and companies are encouraged to take the leap and put YOUR NAME on education. Click here to Make a Difference by Placing YOUR NAME on a Scholarship!
Now to the online auction, do names like Tory Burch, Lee Radziwill, Kate Spade or Antonio Brown ring a bell? Are you dreaming of Fishing in Oregon or playing golf at Edgewood in the most beautiful Lake Tahoe? What about steak and eggs from Omaha or are you more interested in a drill set or nailer? Whatever your inclination is, take a moment to browse this colossal group of items and then bid. It is easy and supports tomorrow’s youth!
In the memory of Larry and Mary Davis who personified the heart and spirit of the roofing industry community, the foundation continues to raise money for scholarships. Davis Memorial Foundation’s Trustees include Chairperson Chuck Chapman of Tecta, Greg Bloom of Beacon Building Products, Heidi J. Ellsworth of RoofersCoffeeShop, Bill Bailey of CI Services, Dennis Ryan of Waterproofing Associates and Thomas Papas of WSRCA.
