BFO Durham Online Silent Auction for the Walk to Remember 2022
So much has changed in the last year with the Covid 19 pandemic challenging our daily routines and sense of normal. This is nothing new for those familiar with BFO where a new normal is what the programs and facilitators are assisting those dealing with loss, try to achieve.
With social gatherings off the table for this year a few of our members felt there had to be some way to assist because the tragedy of loss does not stop just because there is a pandemic.
Thankfully, even with the economic challenges of the shutdown, our sponsors have still come to our aid and provided items for our Walk to Remember Online Auction.
Virtual events cannot match the exhilaration of spending time with our BFO-Durham friends as we enjoy each other’s company, and most importantly for a lot of us…((Hugs)), but the virtual realm is at least giving us the opportunity to continue to raise much needed funds to help BFO Durham be there for those in need.
We can’t emphasize enough our appreciation for the dedication of our sponsors as well as the individual donations under such difficult circumstances. With businesses shut down and a lack of a clear path forward it speaks to the quality of people we are so lucky to have in our community.
Our auction will go live at 12noon on Sunday February 27th and will be available until 6pm on Sunday March 6th 2022.
The link to our auction site is: https://www.32auctions.com/Walk-to-Remember-2022 and the items for auction will be ready for viewing by mid-February.
Successful bidders will be able to pay for and collect their items as of Monday March 7th from the office, but PLEASE phone the office to arrange a suitable time.
