Make-A-Wish® creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We are on a quest to bring every eligible child’s wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child’s treatment journey.
As with many organizations, 2020 has impacted our ability to raise funds in person at galas and auctions. With the need to raise funds for children with critical illnesses required more than ever, we have pulled our prizes together to launch a virtual auction.
All auction prizes will be listed on site from 9:00 am on December 3, 2020.
The auction will run from 9:00 am on Thursday December 3rd until 9 pm EST on Thursday December 10th, 2020.
Yes, please visit the live pledge page for a list of symbolic gifts (LINK). Or you can make a direct donation on: https://hopefortheholidays.bidnraise.com/categorie-produit/donate-now-en/
A list of items and experiences being auctioned can be found online via the landing page. The auctions will be open for a period of time determined by Make-A-Wish, subject to change. Participants can bid many times on a given auction item by outbidding the previous offer to try to win the prize or experience. Participants can track the status of the item or experience to see if its bid price has increased. The person with the highest bid when the auction ends will win the prize. For notes on ‘Maximum Bid’ please read at the bottom of this page.
Once the auctions close, winners will be contacted directly to retrieve payment and confirm delivery details. This will start from Friday December 11th, 2020.
Any person living in Canada over the age of 18.
All participants in the auctions must be 18 years of age or older.
10.Q: Will I have to pay additional fees such as processing and taxes on the prize(s) that I won?
