SOLD – WAVAW’s Online Silent Auction Is Now Live!

Mar 5, 2021

WAVAW's first virtual silent auction is now live!WAVAW’s first-ever virtual auction to support survivors of sexualized violence is now LIVE!

Our hearts are so full from the more than 150 generous donations to SOLD made by local businesses, artists, restaurants, jewellers, artisans and tattoo artists who are sharing their passions and talents to support survivors. The outpouring of love and support is giving us so much hope and we are so moved by the generosity of our community! 

SOLD is taking place entirely online and is open to everyone in Canada (with limited restrictions, subject to item). We are so excited to host SOLD because it not only offers businesses and artists the opportunity to donate without making a financial contribution, but our community has the chance to support survivors by shopping!  All SOLD items will be priced at accessible price points and the auction will be open from Friday, March 5th at 9:00 AM – Sunday, March 7th at 9:00 PM to ensure maximum bidding time.
