¡Every year during RITA, a resource drive is held during the gala dinner! Money raised through the silent and open auctions helps fund the George M. Baer Award winner and helps cover associated expenses for RITA Inc.

The auctions can only be possible thanks to the generosity of the conference participants who bring and donate a wide variety of gifts from all over the world such as: books, handicrafts, paintings, sweets, curiosities, t-shirts, caps, etc.

Big, small, serious and funny — they are all good and we love them!

Thank you for your tremendous support both by donating your gifts and your willingness each year to purchase those special one-of-a-kind donations that can raise thousands of dollars for a worthy cause!

We invite you to continue supporting this activity by donating your gifts for the Auction!

Please bring your gifts to the registration table to donate during the conference and bring your bag to the gala dinner!

On behalf of the International Steering Committee and the RITA 2024 Organizing Committee, we thank you for continuing to support this fun-filled event!
