On a related note, if you have any auction-worthy items you would like to donate to this year's event, we would gladly welcome them! If you have any sports tickets (Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, TFC, Argos, etc.), these are always in high demand.

We'd also welcome any creative experiential offerings — maybe you have a sailboat to skipper, a condo to share, a cooking class to offer, or some fancy wine to contribute.

If you have an item or two to put forward, please reach out directly to Richard Tattersall (richard@heathbridge.com), Bethany Chittick (slycinfo@gmail.com or 705-772-6716) or Louise Sugar (louisesugar1@gmail.com).
