Since 2003, the McBain Rural Agricultural School Foundation (MRASF) has supported Rambler graduates pursuing higher education. Whether students are attending a university, community college, or trade program, we provide several scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 annually.

Our annual auction is a vital part of this mission. In 2025, we raised $31,563 thanks to the generosity of the McBain community for donating items as well as attending and participating in the auction. We also want to thank our student volunteers for their hard work. We are now reaching out to request your support for our 2026 auction, which will be held on April 18 at the Elenbaas Performing Arts Auditorium. All proceeds directly fund scholarships for McBain seniors.

We are currently seeking donations from individuals and local businesses. We will host both a silent auction for smaller items—such as theme baskets and baked goods—and a live auction for larger items, including power tools, recreational and hunting gear, outings, entertainment certificates, services, artwork, wood or metal craft items and similar items. Cash donations are also gratefully accepted.

If you would like to donate, please call Carolyn Flore at (231) 357-9513 or contact any Board Director.

Thank you for your continued support of McBain seniors. We hope to see you on April 18. Doors open at 5:30 and the auction begins at 6:00.
