A dedicated cadre of volunteers worked feverishly to accomplish the formidable task of putting together the ABCF 2005 Auction in one day. Their efforts, combined with the generosity of donors and bidders alike made the Auction the most profitable ever in the ten year history of the Foundation, raising over $40,000. All proceeds from the Auction will be used to fund research into diseases affecting the Boxer Breed. The American Boxer Charitable Foundation is profoundly grateful to all those who contributed to the success of the 2005 Auction and for their continuing support of Foundation goals.

The Auction, held yearly at the American Boxer Club National Specialty, is the major fundraiser for the ABCF. Many of the unique and desirable treasures offered for bidding were donated from the estates of deceased Boxer aficionados. Such items were so abundant this year that the Foundation is considering conducting an Open Air Flea Market in 2006.
