As part of the AAO Convocation activities, the UAAO holds an auction to raise funds for future activities. Last March, with the help of many great students, and the support of WONDERFUL PHYSICIANS, we raised over $10,000 for UAAO interests!

This year in Texas we will be holding the UAAO Auction on Friday evening of Convocation. We will be accepting auction donations at the UAAO Executive Council booth all week prior to the auction.

Auction donations are very important to the UAAO, and we appreciate the many donations that we have received in years past! To donate an item for next year's auction, please bring your item to the UAAO Executive Council booth during Convocation. Individual donations must be worth a minimum of $20 (or multiple items can be donated together in a "lot" that is worth at least $20). To learn more about auction item donation, please see page 47 of the Chapter Notebook.

This year, there will be a special form for submission of each auction item. This form will be coming soon and will include an item description portion to better sell your item.

Just like last year, this year we will be featuring a selection of Student-Only items! Student-Only items can only be bid on by students (thus the name =), and there were several students who were able to win some great pieces of osteopathy at this year's auction! To donate a Student-Only item, simply designate it as such upon donation.

To encourage donations, and to add a little fun to the Chapter of the Year competition, auction donations are worth several VIP points! A maximum of 2 items or lots may be donated for 10 VIP points each. Subsequent auction donations will earn VIP points depending upon their selling price at auction ($1-100: 1 pt., $101-250: 4 pts., $250-500: 7 pts., >$500: 10 pts.).
