Vancouver Island University has got some gift ideas, just in time to find the perfect presents for the ‘hard-to-buy-for’ people on your list.
Vancouver Island University’s 2014 Holiday Auction has more than $25,000 in prizes up for bid this week.
An annual fundraiser for VIU, the Holiday Auction includes a private seafood feast prepared by VIU’s culinary students; lunch with award-winning authors and VIU faculty members Kathy Page and Susan Juby; Vancouver Canucks tickets; dinner with VIU president Ralph Nilson and his wife, Suzie Nilson, in VIU’s fine dining Discovery Room; a week’s stay in a Sayulita, Mexico vacation suite and more.
Money raised in the auction support students and learning spaces at the university, said William Litchfield, director of advancement.
