The Bea Fisher Foundation is buzzing with excitement ahead of its third-annual online auction.
Interested buyers can preview the items up to grabs here, and the auction officially goes live from 7 a.m. on Feb. 21 to 6 p.m. on March 1.
Proceeds from this year’s auction will help purchase a wheelchair-accessible van, something the foundation uses regularly.
“We have just over 120 individuals that use service now. In the course of a week, it’s not unusual for upwards of 100 people to need transportation in the community,” said Kim Crockett, marketing and business development coordinator, Bea Fisher Foundation.
“They need to get out to visit friends, shopping, some have work commitments … everything we need to get out of the house for, they do too, but they need some help with that.”
Crockett explained the cost of a new van has doubled since their last acquisition.
“The Fred North Foundation donated a van worth $80K in 2018, that same van is now $160K,” said Crockett. “It’s going to take a community to raise that kind of money, and we know Lloydminster always pitches in.”
Items include outdoor adventure packs, booze/cooler packs, auto detailing and buff packages, golf packs, a romantic sleigh ride for two, and much more. A total of 55 items are up for auction.
