2019 Silent Auction Fundraiser

Every year the High Performance Program holds a silent auction fundraiser at the Canadian Orienteering Championships. This year, the silent auction will be on Saturday, July 27th in conjunction with the Canadian Orienteering Championships banquet.

Members of the High Performance Program will be donating items, but we greatly rely on and appreciate donations from the orienteering community and their family and friends.

If you would like to donate something, here are a few ideas:

• Could your club donate an entry to an upcoming event? 
• Are you a crafter – can you donate something like a pair of home-made mittens or a hat? pottery? weaving? sculpture? jewellery? 
• Are you a foodie – can you donate a jar of home-made jam, a batch of cookies, a ready-to-go home-made baking mix, some home-made granola? 
• Do you have a cabin or cottage that you could donate a gift certificate for a weekend or a week’s stay at? 
• Do you live in a tourist destination and could offer B&B for a weekend or longer? (especially great if it was in conjunction with future orienteering events) 
• Are you an artist – do you have a sketch of an orienteering scene, or a great photograph that you could put in a frame? 
• Could you ask your local running/sport store to donate an item? 
• Do you have a new unused item kicking around your house that you would love to get rid of – it might just be someone else’s treasure! 
• Other ideas? Think about what you would like to bid on. 

If you have an item to donate, you can bring it with you to the Canadian Orienteering Championships or send it along with someone who is attending. The HPP is very appreciative of all the support we receive and we look forward to seeing you in Quebec!
