Attendees will have the chance to bid on and win exciting travel experiences while supporting industry colleagues in need

IRVING, TX (September 8, 2025) – Family Bonds Foundation, a charitable initiative of Internova Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel services companies, will host a special fundraiser during Nexion Travel Group’s upcoming CoNexion conference, taking place September 8–10 at Universal Orlando Resort.

This year’s event will feature a lively silent auction and raffle, giving travel advisors and supplier partners the chance to bid on and win unforgettable travel prizes – from luxury getaways to exclusive experiences – all while supporting a cause that provides financial assistance to colleagues and their families during times of need.

The fundraiser will also pay tribute to Robbi Hamida, Nexion Travel Group’s late Senior Vice President, who passed away earlier this year after a long battle with cancer. A beloved leader, Robbi was instrumental in shaping the culture and success of Nexion and was a longtime supporter of the Family Bonds Foundation.

“For more than two decades, Robbi was the heart of Nexion, inspiring those around him with his generosity, leadership and spirit of giving,” said Jackie Friedman, President of Nexion Travel Group and President of the Family Bonds Foundation. “We are honored to celebrate his legacy through this fundraiser, which embodies the compassion and community he believed in so deeply.”

Registration for the auction and raffle are open now. The silent auction will close on September 10 1:15 pm ET and raffle closes: September 10, 2025 at 11:59 pm PT. To register for the online silent auction and raffle visit; http://bidpal.net/bondsfall25

Founded in 2015, Family Bonds Foundation has awarded more than 200 grants to travel advisors, supplier partners and their communities, helping with critical expenses such as medical bills, education costs, childcare and disaster relief. Thanks to the generosity of Internova’s network, which includes more than 100,000 travel advisors across over 6,000 company-owned and affiliated travel agencies worldwide, the foundation raised a record-setting $650,000 in 2024.
