Since the inception of our auction series, thanks to the overwhelming support of our community, we have successfully raised nearly $25,000 in previous events. This year, we have set a fundraising goal of $15,000 to provide vital assistance to families in our area who are in need of transitional housing.
The 3rd Annual CJH Auction is proudly sponsored by Karen O'Coin and Scott Walker Investment Advisory Group at BMO Nesbitt Burns as the lead auction sponsor. We are grateful for their generous support and commitment to making a positive impact in our community. Additionally, we extend our sincere thanks to McLean and Dickey Insurance, The Rind and Truckle and Wes Brennan Construction for their sponsorship as Friend of Jubilee sponsors.
