Layne, “The Auctionista”, is BACK for our
28th REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction
in support of the Children’s Fund!

RAHB’s 28th REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction is just around the corner! To get the inside scoop behind the event, our dynamic host, Layne “The Auctionista”, shares her favourite things about working with local REALTORS®:

Q: What inspired you to become “The Auctionista”?
I am passionate about helping others succeed and achieve their dreams and potential. I knew that if I could combine my love of performing with my love of philanthropy, I would have my dream job! As “The Auctionista”, I raise millions of dollars for charities across Canada. These dollars help changes lives. This is my small part in contributing to making our world a better place.

Q: Why should someone attend the REALTORS®4Kids Charity Auction? It’s a “Party with a Heart”! When 500 people party and give back, it’s nothing short of amazing! Colleagues and friends will enjoy a fun and exciting night out that includes great food, fabulous entertainment and, of course, the excitement of competition with the live and silent auctions. What a great way to kick off your Christmas shopping!

Q: What is your favourite part about organizing an event with local REALTORS®?
The RAHB Charity Auction Task Force is made up of the most dedicated and committed group of individuals that I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only are they a super fun bunch, they are generous and work really hard to include amazing auction items and prizes. That is the recipe for a great guest experience and generous support for The Children’s Fund!

Unfortunately, there were no winners of the two Hole-in-One contests and the prizes – a 2-year lease on a 2016 Mercedes and an Air Transat vacation – went unclaimed. The good news is that $1,160 was raised through the entry fee for the Air Transat vacation contest and it will be going to the Childhood Cancer Foundation – another winner in the tournament!
