ATA Foundation Chairman: Auction Items Needed

We’re excited to announce that this year’s Arizona Trucking Association Foundation (ATAF) Charity Auction will once again be held during the ATA Annual Meeting and Carrier Conference.
 
The ATAF Auction has long been a fun and meaningful tradition, providing essential funding for ATAF programs including Teens and Trucks, Share the Road, Road Check, Touch a Truck, scholarships, and other safety-related initiatives.
 
We Need Your Help – Auction Items Needed!
 
The success of the auction depends on generous donations from ATA members and supporting companies. We’re reaching out to ask: Can we count on your support by donating an item (or two) this year?
 
How to Donate: 

1. Complete the ATAF Donation Form Online
   Please fill this out as soon as possible—even before finalizing your item—to help us prepare.
2. Email Your Company Logo 
   Send a JPEG version of your logo for use on auction signage.
3. Deliver Your Donation
   • Drop off your item at:
     Arizona Trucking Association
     7500 W. Madison Street
     Tolleson, AZ 85353
   • OR bring it directly to the conference on Monday, September 29.
     (If delivering to the conference, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.)

As always, 100% of auction proceeds support ATAF programs and events.
 
ALL DONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
