The SEMA Silent Auction once again raised the bar for dollars raised for the  SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund.  The Silent Auction, organized by the SEMA Young Executive’s Network, raised nearly $70,000 in 2007.  In addition to the money raised at the SEMA Show Silent auction, the PWA (Performance Warehouse Association) Silent Auction, also organized by YEN, chipped in an additional $6,000 to the Scholarship Fund.  All-in-all, the efforts in 2007 were able raise nearly $75,000, which is the largest sum of money the YEN group has ever raised in a calendar year.
