WOULDN’T IT BE INCREDIBLE to help
one of your fellow ISPA members explore the world?
Wouldn’t it be even better to do so while raising

all donated escapes accounted for 51 percent of the total revenue
for the Auctions.
These wonderful adventures don’t just appear on the auction
block out of thin air. They are donated by ISPA members like you
who live and work in incredible destinations they want to share

Dubai, South America and St. Simons Island, Georgia, the experi-

If you’re still in the dark about what you should donate to the
2018 ISPA Foundation Live & Silent Auctions, consider your
surroundings and the many ISPA members who would love to explore them. And to those of you who
have already donated a Great Escape to help your ISPA family read more of the world’s book, thank
you! You’ve truly helped this organization soar!
