The NESPA Foundation is proud to celebrate the incredible success of its first-ever Silent Auction, held during The Pool & Spa Show, which raised a great amount of funds to support lifesaving swim education and water safety programs across our region.

Debuting on the show floor, the Silent Auction brought together industry professionals, exhibitors, and attendees for a meaningful cause: expanding access to aquatic education and helping reduce drowning risks for children. The auction featured an exciting mix of sports memorabilia, unique experiences, and exclusive industry items, giving participants the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind offerings while supporting a mission that truly saves lives.

All proceeds from the Silent Auction directly support the NESPA Foundation’s mission to provide aquatic education and water safety programs for children. Donations help fund local swim programs, giving kids access to the lifesaving skill of swimming while teaching them how to stay safe in and around the water. As water is a constant presence in our lives, ensuring children are equipped with these essential skills is more important than ever.

The Foundation extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this event possible — from the generous donors who contributed auction items, to the bidders who enthusiastically participated, and to the volunteers and organizers who worked behind the scenes to bring the auction to life. Your collective support turned a first-time event into a powerful success and set the stage for even greater impact in the years ahead. Together, we are making waves, saving lives, and building a safer future one swimmer at a time!
