ISPA FOUNDATION
FOUNDATION
RAISE YOUR HAND
… for ISPA Foundation ’ s Continued Success
OVER THE YEARS , I ’ ve asked fellow ISPA members to “ raise your hand ” many times . “ Raise your hand ” to volunteer for a Foundation event . “ Raise your hand ” to contribute to our education and outreach fund or our scholarships . “ Raise your hand ” to share your time and expertise on
Foundation initiatives .
Maybe the most fun way to “ raise your hand ” is quickly approaching : When the ISPA family gathers in Las Vegas this month for the 2023 ISPA Conference , a raised hand indicates a bid on one of dozens of luxury products and experiences available in the ISPA Foundation Auctions .
If you attend Conference , I ’ ll ask you to reach skyward to indicate a bid at the Live Auction , which begins at 4:45 pm on May 10 at the back of Mandalay Bay ’ s Expo Hall . And whether or not you will be in Las Vegas , you are invited to bid on a stunning inventory of Silent Auction items . Bidding runs May 1 to May 11 on the HandBid app . As always , your bids on both Auctions will help raise funds to continue the ISPA
Foundation ’ s spa industry and consumer research efforts .
See the available auction lots or learn more about the ISPA Foundation Auctions by clicking on the “ Auction ” tab at attendispa . com . Best of bidding luck to all members at Conference and around the world ! Keep your hand raised and we all win !
