On Friday, April 24 2009 the Midwest Retailers and Manufacturer's Association (MRMA) hosted its annual auction night at the Schaumburg Golf Club in Schaumburg, Illinois.  The night included a silent and live auction, with proceeds benefiting the MRMA scholarship fund.  The scholarship fund awards college scholarship money to several outstanding high school students every year.

With almost all of the auction items being donated by manufacturers in the hardware industry, this is yet another example of the hardware world doing their part to help those in need.
