The NAAA Warren Young, Sr. Scholastic Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established in 2003, exists to lift people up, to open doors for students with big dreams, and to stand beside auction employees when life takes an unexpected turn. Through your generosity, the Foundation fuels two life\u2011changing programs: our annual scholarship initiative and the NAAA Mike Browning Auction Employee Relief Fund.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Every year, the Foundation awards 16 scholarships totaling $140,000, empowering students to pursue higher education at accredited institutions. Thanks to donor support, four of these scholarships are now dedicated specifically to need\u2011based applicants, ensuring that financial hardship never becomes a barrier to opportunity. These awards support NAAA member auction employees and their children, stepchildren, and grandchildren \u2014 helping families build brighter futures.<\/p>

Since the program began, donors like you have made it possible for the Foundation to award more than $1.1 million in scholarships to 265 students. Behind every dollar is a student who dared to believe in what\u2019s possible because someone believed in them first.<\/p>

The Auction Employee Relief Fund extends that same spirit of compassion to employees facing extraordinary hardship. Since 2023, the fund has distributed more than $45,000 in emergency relief funds to more than 100 auction employees recovering from devastating events such as house fires, a variety of weather\u2011related disasters, and other hardships, including unexpected medical emergencies. When crisis strikes, donors ensure that no member of our auction community has to rebuild alone.<\/p>

Your support doesn\u2019t just fund programs. It becomes a lifeline. It lifts up a first\u2011generation college student who never thought college was within reach. It helps a family get through a tough time after being displaced due to a disaster. It brings comfort to an employee overwhelmed by a medical emergency or another unexpected hardship. It strengthens the NAAA community when life is at its brightest and when it\u2019s at its hardest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
