The 2014 FICP Annual Conference Silent Auction
The 2014 FICP Annual Conference will host FICP's 13th silent auction. In 2013, FICP raised over $75,000 through the silent auction. This year, in keeping with FICP's dedicated philanthropic efforts, the silent auction will once again support Junior Achievement, with proceeds benefiting Junior Achievement International and Junior Achievement of Hawaii, the local area chapter.
Junior Achievement of Hawaii was founded in 1957 to educate and inspire young people to value free enterprise, business, and economics to improve the quality of their lives. With the mission of insuring that all Hawaii’s young people learn about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. JA of Hawaii has created a working partnership among the business, military, and education communities.
Bidding is now open for the 2014 FICP Silent Auction! Show your support for FICP and JA by bidding on one (or more!) of our donation packages!

* If you would like to bid anonymously, simply make your username non-specific. All participants receive alerts when they have been outbid, including the username of the person who has placed the higher bid. Returning users: If you would like to change your username to be less specific, you may do so by visiting the "My Account" page and updating your username.
* Only active FICP planner members and hospitality partners are eligible to participate in the silent auction and redeem auction prizes.
Don't forget about these important auction features:
- Maximum Bids: When placing a bid, all users have the option to indicate a maximum bid amount. When using this option, bidding starts at the next available bidding increment and the system will continue to bid for the user, as necessary, until bidding surpasses the indicated maximum. Users will receive an alert each time their bid increases and when their maximum bid has been surpassed.
- Buy Now: All auction items have a minimum bid price, as well as a "Buy Now" option. The "Buy Now" price is listed at a premium and allows the user to instantly buy the auction item and close bidding.
