BGH Foundation launches online auction fundraiser

Isn’t it easier to spend money when you know it’s supporting a cause you care about?

Well move over eBay, because the BGH Foundation’s summer online auction has returned.

We’re going online again this summer to raise awareness and funds to support quality local service at Bonner General.

Beginning this Friday and running through midnight on Thursday, Aug. 19, you can support your not-for-profit community hospital and find the perfect gift at the same time.

All you have to do is log on to the online auction site, browse through the catalog of auction items and place your bid. It’s that simple.

As is so typical of our generous Sand-point community, many businesses and individuals have donated great items for this auction.

Whether you are interested in an exotic getaway vacation, beautiful local artwork or season passes to sports or performing arts events, you’ll find a wide range of items.

 Just a few of the things available include:

n Walla Walla Wine Country Excursion

n Martini-making class for 10

n Schweitzer Mountain Resort season pass

n Cruises on Lake Pend Oreille

n Shopping spree at Eve’s Leaves

n Half off premium boat storage package at Big Lake Marine

n Half-day fishing charter

n Tickets to Gonzaga basketball and Spokane Chiefs hockey games

n Exquisite local artwork and photography

Don’t miss your piece of the auction action! Log onto the online auction directly at www.biddingforgood.com/bgh or go to the hospital’s website homepage at www.BonnerGeneral.org and click on the online auction link.

You’ll also find more information about the hospital, BGH Foundation’s fundraising initiatives and how you can help make a difference!
