Help the NOA Promote Onions Across America
The National Onion Association (NOA) is calling upon onion professionals far and wide to lend a hand in supporting their mission to increase onion consumption across the nation. With the NOA’s promotion program at the heart of this endeavor, your contribution can make a significant difference. One of the key avenues through which the NOA funds its promotion program is the annual auction, and they need your help to make it a success.
While the NOA does have a voluntary assessment program in place, where growers and packers contribute a small portion of their produce to fund promotions, these contributions have been decreasing. Thus, the auction becomes crucial in bridging the gap and ensuring that the NOA’s efforts continue to flourish. Funds raised from the auction go towards various initiatives, including digital and print marketing, video creation, recipe development, and national public relations campaigns.
Are You Willing to Sponsor an Auction Item?
The NOA is currently seeking sponsors for two exciting auction experiences:
