The items that are up for grabs include a tickets for the Calgary Flames games, Calgary Folk Music Festival, oil painting classes, golf course, and more. A full list of auction items is available here.
The Foundation hopes to continue that work through its efforts to create new housing options, keep people housed and improve housing quality. It achieves these goals through its grant programs, which are supported in part by a variety of fundraisers, including this silent auction and the Foundation’s popular 50/50 raffles.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the silent auction, but all winning bidders will have to pick up their items at the CREB® office (300 Manning Rd. N.E.) by Dec. 21. Auction winners may be eligible for a tax receipt, but conditions apply.
