Among the unique aspects of our Auctioneer Pre-Licensing Education course is a dinner for family, friends, instructors and alumni followed by a live auction.  The proceeds of the auction benefit a charity or worthy cause that was chosen by the class.

Coverage of this event has been shown on WBNS, 10TV Columbus, Ohio, OurOhio TV (PBS), in addition to several newspapers and periodicals.  Representatives from these various organizations have attended the event, noting the significance and their appreciation for the donation.

The students of each class manage the entire auction, including introductions and other announcements, acceptance of donations, registration, clerking, cashiering, bid-calling and settlement; alumni frequently remark that this is the most memorable part of the school.  Past beneficiaries include:

• Nationwide Children's Hospital
• Pilot Dogs, Columbus, Ohio
• National Kidney Foundation of Ohio
• Nationwide Children's Hospital Burn Unit
• Auction School Tuition Scholarship
• Central Ohio Parkinson Society
• American Red Cross
• Nationwide Children's Hospital Hematology Unit
