NAA Renews Partnership with St. Jude

For more than two decades, the National Auction Association and its members have proudly stood alongside St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in its mission to advance cures and save children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Through the generosity, dedication, and creativity of auction professionals nationwide, NAA members have collectively helped raise millions of dollars to support St. Jude’s life-changing work.

Now, that partnership enters an inspiring new chapter. The NAA is honored to announce a renewed, multi-year commitment to St. Jude in support of its new Clinical Center Building — a state-of-the-art facility designed to simplify and strengthen outpatient care for children and families receiving treatment at St. Jude.

As part of this partnership, the NAA has pledged $500,000 over five years to name the second-floor elevator lobby in the new Clinical Center Building on the St. Jude campus. This space will serve as a welcoming point for patients and families as they move between appointments and treatments — a daily reminder of the compassion and generosity of the auction community.

The Clinical Center will bring together St. Jude’s Leukemia, Solid Tumor, Brain Tumor, and Hematology teams under one roof, ensuring children with complex conditions have seamless access to world-class outpatient care. For families who often spend months or years on campus, this new facility represents hope, healing, and a sense of home — made possible by partners like the NAA.

“Our members have long been inspired by St. Jude’s mission and its unwavering commitment to caring for children at no cost to their families,” said Allison Mazzei, NAA CEO.  “This renewed partnership not only honors that legacy but also ensures the NAA continues to play an active role in helping St. Jude save lives for generations to come.”

As the NAA celebrates its ongoing collaboration with St. Jude, the association extends heartfelt gratitude to every member, auction company, and supporter who has helped make this impact possible. Together, we are continuing a legacy of giving that reaches far beyond the auction block — one that transforms lives, uplifts families, and brings hope to those who need it most.
