Posted: November 21, 2019
The Independent Welding Distributors Cooperative (IWDC; Indianapolis, IN) celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a novel art auction event that generated over thirty thousand dollars for Workshops for Warriors (WFW; San Diego, CA).
“We wanted to do something special, and through generous vendor partner support, we were able to commission an artist who crafted a one of a kind oil painting on steel titled (Warrior to Welder),” stated Frank Kasnick, the president and chief executive officer of IWDC. “We held a live auction during the closing dinner that included a silent auction and some games that had everyone on their feet having a blast supporting this great cause.”
“In addition to fund raising, we updated members on our strategic initiatives and received valuable feedback on our programs during our Owners’ Meeting held at Eau Palm Beach Resort in Manalapan, FL,” reported Keith Werkley, the IWDC director of sales and vendor management.
“We would like to thank our members, vendors and employees for their generous donations to this worthy cause,” commented Erica Janas, the IWDC director of marketing. “We take great pride in our affiliation and look forward to supporting future campaigns.”
