agreed to wear a wig during all three days of KAIA’ s Annual Convention and attendees had the opportunity to bid on who would get to choose Dave’ s wigs, with Bob Fee, Bryan Schmitz, and Lyle Davidson placing the winning bids.
The 2026 KAIA President’ s Classic Golf Tournament and Auction was another tremendous success. We are grateful to KAIA President Dave Vogel for his leadership, as well as the YAK Committee, auction donors, sponsors, and everyone who participated and helped make the event possible.
YAK AUCTION & FUNDRAISING
The YAK Auction raised an impressive $ 23,590 to support YAK initiatives, programs, scholarships, and events. We are incredibly grateful to all of the donors and attendees whose generosity continues to support the next generation of insurance professionals.
The auction also helped kick off fundraising for YAK’ s 2026 community service project benefiting MyHeartCheck. With the help of auction attendees, YAK has currently raised $ 5,000 toward its $ 5,500 goal, which will help provide heart screenings through the MyHeartCheck program.
From a day of hot-weather golf to a memorable evening at the Cosmosphere, the event brought our industry together while raising important funds to support YAK and its efforts to give back to the insurance community and beyond.
As an added fundraising incentive, Dave Hulcher
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’ s President’ s Classic a success.
