Silent Auction

In the late 1990s, Howard Dorgan created the silent auction to raise funds to support student and community participation in the Appalachian Studies Association—particularly at the conference. All proceeds fund scholarships for people who could not otherwise attend the Appalachian Studies Conference. By contributing to the silent auction — and later placing a bid for items — you are building on Howard’s legacy and supporting a more diverse and more robust Appalachian Studies Association.
