MNLA’s Golf Classic & Annual Auction
Tee Off for a Cause
Each year, MNLA brings together Michigan's Green Industry for two signature fundraising events: the MNLA Annual Golf Classic, where proceeds support the MNLA Scholarship Fund, and the Green Industry Research Auction at the Great Lakes Trade Expo, where proceeds fund research that benefits the entire industry.
These MNLA fundraising events connect Green Industry professionals across the state while giving back to the industry's future.

The Green Industry Research Auction
Every year at the Great Lakes Trade Expo, MNLA holds the Green Industry Research Auction. For more than 25 years this MNLA auction, originated by MNLA's Research Committee, has added thousands of dollars in dedicated funds to MNLA's research initiative.
Here's how it works:
GLTE exhibitors generously donate products from their booths, and toward the end of the event, an auctioneer walks the trade show floor and auctions the donated material to the highest bidder. Attendees enjoy great bargains on quality plant material, tools, and products, all while contributing to a Michigan Green Industry fundraiser where 100% of the proceeds go to research that benefits the entire industry.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
Both events run on the support of Green Industry companies who step up each year. Sponsorship puts your company in front of Michigan's Green Industry professionals while funding the scholarships and research that strengthen the whole industry.
