Royal LePage Team Realty and Royal LePage Gale Real Estate in Ottawa hosted a fund-raising auction for four local charities. In an annual event that began as a Denim Tuesday fundraiser for breast cancer, the breakfast auction has morphed over the years to support a number of charities.

A total of $45,000 was raised this year, breaking all previous records, for Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario; Ottawa Civic Hospital – Women’s Health Division, in support of breast cancer; Serge Giroux Dream Classic Golf Tournament, sending two terminally ill children to Disneyland; and Camp Trillium – a summer camp for children and their families who are dealing with cancer.
