The ABA Foundation mission is to support the motorcoach travel and tour industry with research and scholarships that benefit the ABA, policymakers and the public. There are three events where  Marketplace attendees can give back to the Foundation in support of its mission:

SUPPORT THE ABA FOUNDATION’S 2025 SILENT AUCTION AND PURSE RAFFLE

Supporting the American Bus Association Foundation through participating in our annual Live and Silent Auctions is one of the best ways you can invest in your business and our industry. Your support for the ABA Foundation impacts our industry, as well as ABA members and their families. Since 1997, the American Bus Association has awarded more than $1.1 million in financial support to more than 300 scholars that are starting or furthering their careers in transportation, travel, tourism and hospitality. This auction is a tangible opportunity to invest in the next generation of our industry. You do not have to attend ABA’s Marketplace to participate in the online silent auction. Anyone can bid! Anyone can win!
