This year’s IFMA Foundation Gala (Foundation Gala) will be a night to remember! The sights and sounds of our Casino Royale are sure to bring in a great crowd where participants can “gamble” the night away in support of the Foundation and its mission to encourage FM as a “Career of Choice.” This year participants can use their “winnings” to obtain items provided by you! It’s a great way to feature your company, your products, your chapter or your city while supporting the Foundation! We’re looking forward to featuring large items, small items and everything in between. Remember, this is the Foundation’s larg- est fundraiser of the year, so your participation and donation are very important to the success of the event. This will be a fun night and your donation is appreciated in spades (and hearts, diamonds and clubs) ! CASINO NIGHT DONATIONS GUIDELINES: ROYALE CASINO AUCTION DONATION INFO 1.
