Re/Max Professionals Saint John’s third annual fundraising auction event was a resounding success, raising more than $18,500 to support pediatric care at the IWK Children’s Hospital.

Approximately 160 people attended the event, held in late October.  The evening’s festivities included dinner and a live and silent auction.  Ninety items were presented in the silent auction and 80 in the live auction, including tickets to sporting events such as a Toronto Maple Leafs game, a Baby Barn Playhouse valued at $2,000, and website design services. 

“Local residents and businesses opened their doors and their hearts, giving generously to support the cause, and we thank everyone for their involvement,” says Gordon Breau, broker/owner, Re/Max Professionals Saint John. “With so many children and families in need, we’re glad to leverage the reach of our network to make a difference, because we know it can have a tremendous impact.  All kids deserve a chance at a healthy, happy childhood and a promising future.”
