With today’s cost of living in Metro Vancouver — one the most expensive places on the globe to live — who doesn’t appreciate getting a deal?
And when that can also help someone in need, what could be better?
Well, those two worlds — great deals and community support — come together in one place Sept. 27 at the Mid-Autumn Charity Dating Auction at Aberdeen Centre.
From 1 - 4 p.m. inside the mall bids starting at just $20 can get you in the running to receive some great goods, services, and maybe even a wonderful companion for a dinner date at one of Aberdeen Centre’s fine restaurants.
Proceeds from the auction go to the Richmond Food Bank which serves more than 1,300 people with 30,000 pounds of food every week.
Auction items are broken down into four different categories: Wisdom, Labour, Health and Love.
Some of the highlights include a pair of executive coaching sessions with Canadian Olympian and Richmond city councillor Alexa Loo (wisdom), a home gym package worth $500 from Flaman Fitness (health), and the chance to sample the world’s most expensive hot dog, according to the Guinness Book of Records, from Dougie Dog which will provide a Dragon Dog party worth $3,000.
In the Love category, five young personalities will be available to join successful bidders for an all expense paid date. Among them is Heather Lam, a member of the BC Lions Felions Dance Team.
