AUCTION SCHOOL STUDENTS RAISE MONEY FOR TEXAS SCOTTISH RITE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL TO HONOR AUCTIONEER ROCKY STRICKLAND
On December 3, 2007 the November Graduating Class of the Texas Auction Academy donated $6000 to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Dallas to honor fallen Auctioneer and former auction school instructor Rocky Strickland, CAI, BAS. The auction was comprised of items donated by the students, the hospital and from the school. Mr. Strickland, who at the time of his passing was Texas Auctioneers Association 2nd Vice President, was very dedicated and passionate about supporting Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and in teaching future auctioneers. Because of his commitment and love for others, the Texas Auction Academy which conducts four charitable auctions per year with their students plans to dedicate specific funds from future auctions in his name.
