This virtual activity, born in the heart of the pandemic, is making people happy everywhere! Indeed, it is an opportunity for many to do good business for their Christmas shopping; it is also a window for several businesses in the region and, above all, it allows the CHUS Foundation to raise a considerable amount of money. In addition, there will of course be a few lucky ones who will unpack these lots among their gifts...

“Of course, we would like to thank local businesses and our partners whose generosity allowed us to auction a very good range of products! A very special thank you to the people who participated and who made the auction a success again this year. It is really a great activity that is becoming a tradition! ”,

declares Martin Clermont, executive director of the CHUS Foundation.

During this auction, participants had the chance to bet on a wide variety of items from among the 230 lots put on the auction: jewelry, toys, sporting goods, concert tickets, couples getaways and family outings, gift cards for restaurants or clothing, gift cards for restaurants or clothing, wines and spirits, beauty and wellness treatments... And these are just a few examples!

The bets paid by the winners of the various prizes go straight to the CHUS Foundation and contribute directly to the continuous improvement of health care and services offered to the population of Estrie.
