Travel To Go President, Jeanette Bunn, as a volunteer for C.A.R.E., helped raise a new record of Silent/Live Auction and Super raffle proceeds at the non-profit trade association's 54th Semi-Annual Conference held from September 24-28, 2011 in Chicago, IL.

Along with the assistance of fellow C.A.R.E. Vice President Dave Dawson (Global Connections) and Wayne Messmer, the well-known voice of the National Anthem that is currently serving as a fixture with the Chicago Cubs and Wolves and formerly, the Blackhawks, Ms. Bunn helped raise over $22,000.00 to underwrite the marketing efforts of the C.A.R.E. organization.

Bunn was responsible for recruiting donations of auction and super raffle items, the coordination of volunteers to set up the auction and recruiting and assisting auctioneer Messmer during the auction. According to Mr. Messmer "I'm so happy that I had the good fortune of being seated next to Jeanette on a plane ride. She spoke with such passion about her business that I was glad to have had the opportunity to meet a terrific group of folks who love life and what they do for a living at the Chicago event. It was a lot of fun. I am so impressed with the genuine energy and enthusiasm within the C.A.R.E. group. The family feeling is most apparent, led by the contagious spirit of service of Jeanette Bunn. I was proud to get to know some outstanding people and to assist with the live auction at the Chicago event and to hopefully have played a small part in helping with their bright future."

Just a few of the auction items included exotic vacation week packages, advertising opportunities in major trade publications, registrations to industry conventions, and the grand prize of a 40" LCD HDTV. The funds raised are used to increase C.A.R.E.'s membership base, which has a direct impact on all C.A.R.E. member companies.

C.A.R.E. Board of Directors are all volunteers and each chair or co-chair several committees. Bunn is the Co-Chair of the Marketing and Going Green Committees and serves on the Strategic Planning and Travel Club Compliance Committees. According to Bunn "I volunteer for C.A.R.E. to give back to an organization that has helped our company grow over the last 21 years. The relationships we have built as a result of being a member of C.A.R.E. have been instrumental in our success. There has been no better way to thank the organization than to volunteer my strengths. It is very rewarding and I have made lifelong friends as well! I love volunteering for C.A.R.E."
