To bring our annual cable telethon together every year, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to:

The Town of Georgina, Rogers Television, The Georgina Advocate, All Our Sponsors

and:

THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT WATCH OUR SHOW AND BUY!

Television Auction

There are several fundraisers each year to raise money for our organization, but the biggest single event is our annual live television auction.  With the gracious assistance of the Town of Georgina, Rogers TV, The Georgina Advocate, a group of dedicated volunteers and visionary sponsors like you, we are able to raise a substantial part of our grant budget every year during this 6-hour event.

Here's How It Works!

The auction begins live at 10am on Rogers TV.  Every 10 minutes, 8 new items are auctioned off in a block. During each block, the phone lines are open to take bids from the viewers at home.  The person with the highest bid at the end of the block will receive the item and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the kids.  IT'S THAT EASY! 

There are several ways you can help!

BLOCK ITEMS...Your donation of a good or service would be a welcome addition to the auction.  An item or certificate for a service you provide will be given exposure and promoted during the entire segment it is featured in.

ALL-DAY ITEMS...a single product or service, valued at $500 or more, may be placed in our All-Day Block and given promotion throughout the entire day.  These items are introduced at the beginning, mentioned numerous times throughout the day and bid on during the final 20 minutes of the auction.

BELL RINGERS...If our auction viewers bid an amount that exceeds the retail value of your donation, they will receive a "bell ringer" bonus.  This is also a donated prize of $5-$10.  Do you have any items or certificates that would fit this kind of donation?

CASH DONATIONS...are gladly accepted prior to the auction and will be announced during the event.

The Kids Win and You Win!

While your donation of an item or service will benefit the kids of Georgina, the auction is also a great opportunity to get your name out in the community!

Upon request, we will gladly supply a poster to hang in your place of business advertising the upcoming auction and that you have donated to the event!

The week before the auction, your business name, donation description and its retail value will be listed in a one-page ad in the Georgina Advocate.  Items will be listed by block and airing time.

During your "10-minute block", your item or service will be featured on television.  Your business name and donation description will be mentioned several times.

All-day items will be highlighted at the beginning of the auction and several times throughout the broadcast.  The final 20-minutes of the auction is devoted to this popular block. 

The auction is aired live throughout York Region.

We appreciate your help in making this year’s auction a shining success!
