We have intensified our fundraising with our online auction which also benefits our donors whose generosity is recognized by the 450,000+ shoppers who visit the Bidding for Good website annually.

By donating cash or rooms that would sit vacant, you can promote your business and contribute to the long term viability of the industry.
