AWA Inaugural Online Auction: A Huge  Success!

We’re excited to share that AWA’s first-ever online auction was a big success, raising close to $13,000 to support our mission! This accomplishment would not have been possible without the generosity and enthusiasm of our community!

A Heartfelt Thank You!

We’d like to extend a special thank you to our 2024 Presenting Sponsor, Ruger, for their incredible support.  

A huge shoutout to all the fantastic donors who provided products and services for the auction—you made bidding a blast! And, of course, a big thank you to everyone who placed bids. Whether you won or simply joined in the fun, your participation made a difference. 

We’d also like to recognize our auction partner, Pot of Gold Estate Auctions, for their exceptional work in hosting the auction and making the entire process smooth and enjoyable for everyone. 

Why Fundraising is Critical to AWA 

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, AWA relies on the generosity of members, donors, and partners to carry out our mission of enabling women to be their own self-protectors. Fundraising is not just about financial support. It’s about expanding our reach, building community, and ensuring long-term sustainability. 

Expanding Reach and Building Community

Fundraising allows AWA to grow and reach more women across the country. By generating the necessary resources, we can provide education and training to chapter leaders and members, support the chapters, and strengthen our community. Every dollar raised is a step toward helping more women achieve freedom, peace of mind, and confidence in themselves. 

Driving Awareness and Engagement

Through our fundraising efforts, we can amplify our message and our mission. Raising funds enables us to increase awareness, driving engagement and support from individuals, businesses, and organizations. It fuels our ability to spread the word and reach new audiences. 

Achieving Long-Term Sustainability

For any non-profit, financial health and long-term sustainability are vital to the mission. Fundraising provides the resources for daily operations, strategic projects, and future growth. 

You directly contribute to AWA’s success by supporting our fundraising efforts. 

Get Ready for 2025!

We’re already looking forward to next year! The 2025 AWA Online Auction is set to be even bigger and better, and we can’t wait for you to be a part of it. If you’re interested in sponsoring or donating products or services for the 2025 auction, please contact us at Partners@armedwomen.org.
