Not a golf fan, or looking for more ways to advocate for yourself via the RCPA PAC? Consider donating to the PAC Silent Auction at the 2025 RCPA Annual Conference. This event will take place outside Connections Hall, and we are looking to attract the attention of over 700 attendees, including registrants, presenters, exhibitors, and sponsors. The money raised helps to support the RCPA PAC, which provides financial support to state legislators who have demonstrated a strong, consistent, and positive interest in our issues and priorities.
We are requesting your consideration in assisting us by providing a donation of an auction item. We are hoping to secure a variety of items that will be enticing to all members. All donations are greatly appreciated and can be something as simple as a gift certificate for a restaurant to a themed basket (candy, movie night, grilling items, cooking theme, etc.). We are also accepting items such as jewelry, designer handbags, tickets to college or professional sporting events, golf items, and sports memorabilia.
Please contact Christine Tartaglione by August 25, 2025, if you would like to donate any items. You can also contact her with any questions regarding the Fall Golf Outing or if you have any general questions regarding the silent auction. Thank you for your consideration of our request.
