The Angus Foundation celebrated another successful fundraising effort during the 2025 Angus Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. Through the annual Awards Dinner Auction and Foundation Raffle, supporters raised $37,320, helping to advance the Foundation’s mission of education, youth, and research. The live auction featured unique Angus-themed items that drew spirited bidding from the audience, including a historic Angus bronze bull. “Every dollar raised during the Convention directly supports programs like the LEAD Conference, Raising the Bar, and the Beef Leaders Institute,” said Jaclyn Boester, executive director of the Angus Foundation. “We are grateful for the breeders, sponsors, and supporters who continue to invest in the future of the Angus breed.” Grant Solem, Foundation Director for the National Junior Angus Association Board, said every raffle ticket sold creates opportunities and experiences for juniors within the NJAA. “It’s great to see the breed’s supporters come together and support the mission of the NJAA,” he added.
