Friendly competition, great items and a chance to give back—the Silent Auction returns to the 2026 TRSA Annual Conference & CEO Summit, May 12–14.
All proceeds benefit TRSA’s Foundation, the Textile Rental Education and Research Trust (TRERT), which funds scholarships, internships and initiatives that develop the next generation of industry leaders.
Last year, TRSA members raised nearly $15,000 through the Silent Auction—an incredible show of generosity. This year? Let’s see if we can top it.
