CVCF Home Sweet Home Online Auction Opens October 3
In conjunction with our Home Sweet Home Gala, the Comox Valley Community Foundation is pleased to present its community wide, virtual auction. This online auction will get underway on Saturday, October 3 and remain open for bids until the following Saturday, October 10.
“Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to re-imagine the annual Gala and all the pieces that accompany it,” said Matt Beckett, CVCF’s President. “A silent auction has long been a part of the Gala, and this year we decided to open it up to the general public for their participation as well.”
“Our Comox Valley business community has once again been incredibly generous and we invite you to view the great selection of items available,” added Beckett. “Both the Gala and online auction raise much needed funds for the Foundation to continue our important work in the community.”
To view the auction items and to register to bid, please visit www.auctria.com/auction/HomeSweetHomeGala or the CVCF website www.cvcfoundation.org to access a link. The auction is open to residents of the Comox Valley only.
