The Annual Educational Fund Auction helps raise money for very worthy causes. Since 2002, NASTT has raised nearly 1.2 Million Dollars and used those funds in support of our many educational initiatives. Due to your generosity, NASTT is able to provide targeted trenchless training courses to the industry, publish trenchless resource manuals and sponsor university students’ attendance at the NASTT No-Dig Shows, as well as award scholarships.
Thank you to the 2020 Auction Reception Sponsors: Bennett Trenchless and Interplastic Corp!
