Scott Kelnhofer, associate editor of Sports Collectors Digest, one of several sports collectibles publications produced by Krause Publications in Iola will be on hand to provide expertise on authentication of autographed items as well as to provide his professional knowledge of value as he has so well since the inception of the Sports Auction in 1997.

The MACC Fund is pleased to partner with presenting sponsors:

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will extend your generous support by matching the final tally. Over the last 6 years, Thrivent has contributed $600,000 to the MACC Fund.

TODAY'S TMJ4 has made a significant special broadcast commitment to the MACC Fund since 1981. Its Sports Auction 4 MACC continues this tradition of quality programming to provide awareness and funds for research for children with cancer. The MACC Fund presented TODAY'S TMJ4 with its Don Contardi Commitment Award this year. The award honors the memory of an early board member who died from cancer in 1984. It is the only award the MACC Fund bestows each year.

Proceeds from the TODAY'S TMJ4 Sports Auction 4 MACC will help the MACC Fund continue its mission to support critical pediatric cancer research. The primary beneficiary of MACC Fund support is the Midwest Children's Cancer Center of the Medical College of Wisconsin as well as the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Comprehensive Cancer Center.
