Before we head into the final stretch, we wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for all the generosity and enthusiasm you’ve shown so far. We’ve been so touched by how our community has rallied around this auction and you’ve already helped us reach over $2,500 in committed bids! That’s pretty incredible.

This auction is benefiting Aunt Leah’s, a local charity that supports youth aging out of Canada’s foster care system. Think back to everything you had to figure out when you finished school and started adulting for the first time. Finding a job. Figuring out housing. Managing money. Making decisions about your future. Learning how to navigate the world as an adult. Now imagine doing all of that without the support network that so often comes built into a stable family life.

The organization we’re supporting is doing some amazing work and creating programs that help young people navigate that transition and, in turn, making a real impact in the lives of some of our community’s most vulnerable youth.

If you see a lot you love, bid away! But if nothing catches your eye, you can still be part of the auction by making a donation. And because apparently 30 lots weren’t enough… we’ve added two more!
