The National Onion Association (NOA) invites you to join in the fun and excitement of our summer convention with the Great Alaskan Onion Plunge! This thrilling event promises a splash of excitement and a lot of laughs as one lucky participant takes a plunge into an icy cold lake in Alaska.
Here’s How It Works: The rules are simple: the individual who garners the most ‘BIDS’ will jump into the frigid waters. Similar to a dunk tank, where people pay to see someone get wet for fun, here you bid a minimum of $100 to see your chosen participant take the plunge. Rally your friends and colleagues to bid for your favorite nominee. The person with the highest total bids will take the plunge, and we’ll live stream the event as it happens, sharing it across our social media pages.
Important Details:
- Bidding Ends: June 26
- Bid Minimum: $100
- Bidding Site: Booker Auction
Support the NOA’s Mission: Proceeds from the auction support the NOA’s efforts to promote onions across the country. Unlike other agricultural associations, the NOA does not benefit from a market order, so we rely on fundraisers like this to ensure onions remain a top consumer commodity. Your participation helps the entire industry thrive by funding crucial promotional activities.
Help the NOA Promote Onions Across America: The NOA’s promotional program aims to increase onion consumption nationwide. This auction is one of only two fundraisers that support this initiative. Through our voluntary assessment program, we ask growers and packers to contribute 1 cent per hundredweight of onions they handle or grow. However, contributions have been declining, making your participation in this auction more vital than ever. The funds raised cover costs for digital, print, and email marketing, video creation, recipe development, and national public relations efforts.
Join Us and Make a Difference: Check out all the items in our summer auction and make your bids count. Let’s have some fun at our three presidents’ expense while supporting a worthy cause. Together, we can help ensure the continued success and growth of the onion industry.
