The Royal LePage Headstart conference in Harrison Hot Springs, B.C. shattered its previous record for funds raised for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, generating $55,000 at the bi-annual conference. Contributing to the grand total is a combination of great prizes, including a cruise on the original S.S. Minnow, from Gilligan’s Island fame, and one unlikely auction prize that fetched $7,500 on its own. It’s an old faux fur coat, which has been auctioned at several Royal LePage Shelter Foundation events and appears to be getting ever-more unlikely amounts as bidders clamour to own it as a badge of honour.
