An online auction for a Coquitlam arts hub is about $2,000 shy of its goal.
And there’s still time to place bids on big and small prizes — a few of which haven’t had much interest since the fundraiser opened Oct. 20.
Staff at Place des Arts hope to generate at least $10,000 to subsidize — or offer at no cost — registrations for its arts programs. As of Monday, about 77% of the target (or $7,733) had been met.
Among the larger items on the block include: an Airwalk Hoverboard 6.5; kick-start training bundles from Innovative Fitness in Coquitlam and Port Moody; two tickets for the Vancouver Opera production of La Boheme; and a season pass for next year’s Vancouver International Film Festival.
The less-expensive prizes available include: five admission passes to the BC Sports Hall of Fame (valued at $100); and a family membership to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum (valued at $70).
To place a bid, visit 32auctions.com/placedesarts.
The auction closes on Saturday at 9 p.m.; participants will be notified by email if they are outbid.
Winners must pick up their items in person at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam). Call 604-664-1636 (ext. 36) or email [email protected] for more details.
