2024 Summit Silent Auction and Gift Card Raffle
Register ahead of time for this year’s Summit Fundraisers!
DakCU’s 2024 Summit Roger Heacock GAC-HTH Scholarship Fundraiser will once again be virtual, meaning you can participate from anywhere online in the Dakotas during this year’s Summit to be held May 14-16 right outside Sioux Falls, South Dakota!
In an attempt to maximize our bidding efforts, we will use ClickBid for this year's Silent Auction, which will benefit our Heacock HTH Scholarship fund.
Roger Heacock GAC-HTH Scholarship Program
The GAC auction has generated approximately $50,000 in revenue over the last several years. The funds are then used to provide assistance scholarships to credit union professionals from North and South Dakota who attend the America's Credit Unions GAC Conference and other meetings, such as our annual “Hike the Hill” events. Since 2008, 88 scholarships have been awarded for a total of $70,000!
Donate a Prize!
To help us prepare for this live fundraiser, we kindly ask each credit union to submit the donated item(s) for the Silent Auction by May 6th.
To maintain our current level of assistance scholarships, we ask that these items have a minimum retail value of $100+.
