2024 CiB SILENT AUCTION

One of the many exciting activities planned during the 30th CiB Symposium & Awards in Charlottetown PEI is the much-anticipated Silent Auction, where we’ve seen countless beautiful donations over the years. Our delegates are always eager to see the unique and creative items on display, making this fundraiser a highlight of the event.


To make this year’s Silent Auction a memorable success, we kindly ask for your support. This fundraiser offers a great opportunity to showcase your community or organization while contributing to the Communities in Bloom Foundation. All proceeds from the auction will go toward supporting important initiatives, including:


  • Student bursaries for post-secondary education
  • Youth and green initiatives
  • Workshops and seminars
  • Educational content promoting the value of green spaces in society


We would be grateful if each community or organization could donate a “pride product”—an item that represents the unique identity or specialty of your community or organization. The value of the donation is entirely up to you, and we welcome all your creative ideas to help make this event a success for the Foundation and its lasting legacy.


If you can contribute or know someone who can, please fill out our auction donation form by October 7th, 2024.


We kindly ask that you bring your donation with you to the registration desk when you arrive at the conference. Please ensure that the item’s value is clearly marked. If you’re unable to attend but still wish to donate, don’t hesitate to reach out—we will gladly provide instructions on how to send your item.


If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to contact us.


Thank you in advance for your continued enthusiasm and support of the Silent Auction!
