We hope you will be a part of Marshfield Clinic's premier, black-tie event, Auction of Champions. Since its inception in 1982, the Auction has raised more than $3 million for the National Farm Medicine Center at Marshfield Clinic, an invaluable resource for the agricultural industry in Wisconsin.
Preview the Silent and Live Auction items you can win
The event will be held on Thursday, September 18, 2014 in Marshfield. There will be a silent auction and cocktail reception, followed by dinner and live auction.
Over the past year, The National Farm Medicine Center has been able to:
- Provide community outreach programs such as free bilingual safety training of Hispanic dairy workers, presentations and training to agritourism operators, skin cancer screenings, and exhibit at farm shows and professional conferences.
- Conduct the Wisconsin Infant Study Cohort, which examines the link between a farm upbringing and stronger immunity. The objective is to identify key microbial exposures on farms that aid in immunity and offer exposure to non-farm children to reduce rates of respiratory illnesses.
- Continue the Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS) Rebate program, which provides financial support to encourage farmers to install a ROPS system on older tractors. When used with seatbelts, ROPS are 99% effective at protecting farmers during tractor rollovers which is the leading cause of deaths on farms.
A three-minute video explaining the need for a tractor rollover protection program (produced by Media Services) can be viewed on the National Farm Medicine Center’s home page.
