IBAT's 37th Annual LIVE & SILENT Auction Fundraiser

The major PAC fundraiser of the year happens at the annual IBAT convention. The Leadership Division conducts both a silent and live auction fundraiser. IBAT members can contribute items to the auction including fishing and hunting trips, jewelry, regional specialties, sports memorabilia, children's toys, and collectibles. PAC Auction donations and purchases are a fun way to contribute to the ongoing success of community banking in the Texas Legislature. State law restricts the resale of alcohol, and sadly, we are unable to accept donations of alcoholic beverages for the Auction.

There are two ways to participate:
  1. Donate An Item
    Choose something unique. Be creative! Don’t have time to shop? If you would like to make a monetary donation instead of donating an item for the Auction, your contribution will be recognized during the event and will be added to PAC Auction totals. The PAC Auction is one of the most popular events during the IBAT Annual Convention. Fill out the online Auction Pledge Form  or download the form here. 
  2. Purchase An Item
    Enjoy the live and silent auctions and make a purchase from the many gift items your colleagues have chosen to entice you.
