BUDA, TX The Texas Asphalt Pavement Association' (TXAPA) Ron Flanagan Scholarship, Education and Research Auction is held each year at the annual meeting. This event will take place on September 24, 2015, at the La Cantera Resort in San Antonio, Texas.  Last year the auction brought in approximately $100,000 that helped civil engineering students, city and county seminars and research projects at the Texas Transportation Institute. 

There are two different categories in the Auction. The Silent Auction is for items that are below $500 in value and the Live Auction is for items that are $501 and above in value. 

Cash donations are being accepted in lieu of items to make it easier for everyone to participate. The Association will take the cash donations and purchase scholarship items for the auction. This has been proven to be a great way to participate with the least amount of effort. 

For additional information contact Karen Pagitt at  kpagitt@texasasphalt.org or call 512-312-5043.  It is important that all items that are donated are in the office no later than September 4. An auction brochure containing all donated items will be available at the annual meeting.

The donations received for this program have helped promote the asphalt industry in so many ways.  Education is a primary goal at TXAPA and your contributions are the key to keep our scholarship and education program meeting the needs of our industry and future leaders.
