Annual Auction

Event Details

Auction Date: Friday, April 29, 2011
Winnipeg Convention Centre

EVENT OVERVIEW

The Rainbow Society's Annual Auction is our largest fundraising event, raising approximately $125,000.00 net. With a unique theme every year, it is a fun evening with 400 - 500 guests in attendance enjoying the live entertainment and a buffet, along with a Live and Silent Auction.

There is a wide selection of Auction Items ranging in price from $50.00 to $6,000.00 and
everyone always finds something to bid on. Some items that have been up for bid in the
Live Auction in the past are: a Winnipeg Goldeyes Skysuite for 20 people, a five-course
dinner for six people in your home prepared by the Executive Chef at Winnipeg Convention Centre and Beat the Box office tickets including tickets to every upcoming event sponsored by the Winnipeg Free Press. The Silent Auction is also a hit with the guests with a variety of 100 packages to bid on.

We are looking forward to the continued success and growth of the Annual Auction, and we are delighted that the Gauthier Automotive Group has been the Premier Sponsor of this event since 1997.
