What is the NBT Silent Auction?
The Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs® (NBT) Foundation hosted a silent auction during the opening reception of FMA’s Annual Meeting on February 28, 2023, at the JW Marriott Las Vegas. The numbers are in, and it’s official: our generous donors and bidders helped to raise over $32,000 for student scholarships and manufacturing camps.
More than 300 fabrication and metals industry leaders were on-hand attempting to outbid one another to win roundtrip tickets on United Airlines; tickets to sporting events like Notre Dame versus USC, Chicago White Sox scout seats, and University of Michigan football games; sports memorabilia autographed by Arnold Palmer, John McEnroe, Joe Montana, and more; jewelry, handbags, and original artwork signed by Alex Ross.
