REALTORS® 4 Kids Charity Auction – not the same old cocktail party!

RAHB’s 27th annual charity auction underwent a rebranding (remember the Christmas Tree of Hope charity auction?) and a change of format for 2015, and drew almost 500 REALTORS®, their clients and friends for an evening of great food, fun and – most importantly – fundraising for The Children’s Fund.

The evening included a four-course sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, draws, door prizes, giveaways and the chance to make a difference in the lives of children in the Hamilton/Burlington area.

RAHB engaged the services of professional  auctioneer Linda Leija, “the Auctionista,” to act as emcee for the event and to conduct the live auction.  Guests were entertained and challenged to open their wallets for the cause.

A beautiful day for golf!
