Maintaining a strong business climate in SD means supporting our youth with educational and career opportunities designed to keep them in our communities.  Proceeds from the SME Youth Benefit Auction go to Youth Business Adventure (YBA) and SME Sales and Marketing Scholarships for college students attending a South Dakota school of higher learning.

This year's auction will be held on Friday, September 23, 2011 at the Holiday Inn City Centre Starlite Room.  REZA the Illusionist will entertain the audience after dinner and the live and silent auction packages.  Auction packages will include items from all over the state and country including packages for travel, advertising, decorating, nights on the town, and many more.  Raffle Tickets will be sold for $100 for the Wine Raffle valued at nearly $4,000.

Tickets to attend the event are availalble for $50 each or tables of 10 for $500.
