Just in time for you to find the perfect gifts for the ‘hard-to-buy-for’ people on your list, Vancouver Island University’s (VIU) 2014 Holiday Auction has more than $25,000 in prizes up for bid this week.
An annual fundraiser for VIU, the Holiday Auction includes a private seafood feast prepared by VIU’s talented Culinary students, lunch with award winning authors (and VIU faculty) Kathy Page and Susan Juby; Vancouver Canucks tickets; a private guided meditation walk and High Tea at Milner Gardens and Woodland; dinner with VIU president Dr. Ralph Nilson and his wife Suzie Nilson in VIU’s fine dining Discovery Room; a whale watching excursion from Victoria; and a week’s stay in a Sayulita, Mexico vacation suite.
Funds raised in the auction support students and learning spaces at VIU, says William Litchfield, Director of Advancement. “We encourage the community to support VIU with bids on these great auction prizes, many which showcase the university and the great experiences to be enjoyed in the region.”
Bids in the VIU Holiday Auction at www.viu.ca/auction are open until 4 pm on Friday, Nov. 28.
