Activate – Oklahoma State Auctioneers Association

We are trying something new this summer & are partnering with a local non-profit to help raise money for their organization. At this years Summer Conference, we will have a Team Competition & a Junior Contest. Following both events, we will be auctioning off more items to support the Saville Center in Stillwater. We will host the contest, dinner & benefit auction on Friday, August 6th. Educational classes will be held on August 7th. We have decided to only host our Summer Conference on Friday & Saturday instead of a full Sunday event. Please note the date change. The mission of The Saville Center is to facilitate the protection, prevention, and healing of victims of child abuse and to promote the health of families in our community. The Saville Center for Child Advocacy envisions a community where children are valued and healthy families thrive. They are often the first step in a child abuse investigation and provide wrap-around services and support throughout the process. The Saville Center offers a soothing, calming atmosphere, in a building specially designed to lessen a child’s fears. It is a safe, child-friendly facility where forensic interviews, medical evaluations, mental health services, and referrals are provided to children involved in abuse investigations. Before the center was available, the child may have been taken to several different agency offices to receive services. At each stop they would have had to answer the same questions over and over again. Now, because these services are centralized at the Saville Center, further trauma to the child and family can be avoided. ... See MoreSee Less
