As of 2007 the auction has benefited various Calgary organizations in the amount of more $500,000! which has been contributed back to the community.Frank Hall is the auctioneer and Kirk Heuser of CTV is Master of Ceremonies. This has consistently been one of Calgary's best auctions with original works contributed by many local artists. Bidding on silent auction items begins during the cocktail hour with the live auction following a served gourmet dinner. Guests register at the beginning of the evening to receive a bid number. One of the highlights of the evening is always a balloon burst. Balloons will be available for purchase at $10 per. Don't let them get away from you! Look inside your balloon for a lucky ticket, which can be redeemed for a prize. The major beneficiaries have included Hull Homes of Calgary, Community Kitchens, YWCA Mary Dover House, Salvation Army Children's Village, Closer to Home / Success by Two, Rotary Challenger Park, and Rosedale Hospice. Full details and website links for the charities are on our What We Do page. Special thanks to David Parker whose "Around Town" column in the Calgary Herald has been promoting the art auction for many years now |
