The HBA Charitable Foundation's Auction & Go Kart Race event is set for November 16th at Incredible Pizza starting at 5:00 pm. This is the HBACF's biggest fundraiser and all the proceeds go to providing scholarships to OTC (3) and MSU (2 in construction and 2 in Interior Design), along with 3 departmental grants. The HBACF provides more scholarships, both in numbers and dollars, for construction related fields than any other local organization. We have also provided funds for Habitat for Humanity and the American Red Cross, among others.

There are many opportunities to get involved -- be a sponsor, drive a Go Kart, donate something for the auction! For more detail about participating in this event including an auction donation form, click here.
