To help support Northern Ontario transplant patient's, the Rich Griffin #1Saves8 Gala has launched an online silent auction to raise much needed funds.
The Griff's Anatomy Gala, in memory of KISS 105.3 morning show host Rich Griffin, who passed away last May and became an organ and tissue donor, will take place May 14 at the Sudbury Holiday Inn. The gala will start at 5 p.m. And is expected to end early the next morning, around 1 a.m.
Tickets for the gala, which are $148 each, can also be purchased online. Around 75 per cent of available tickets have been sold so far.
Griff's Anatomy Gala attendees will have the last chance to bid in the silent auction on May 14, but anyone can bid and win.
Auction prizes include Blue Jays tickets and signed Jays memorabilia, weekend getaways, spa products and services, sports and entertainment experiences, products and services for the home, food and dining, fun family experiences, clothing, jewellery and much more.
Gala and auction proceeds will go to the Rich Griffin Transplant Assistance Fund, easing the financial burden Northern Ontario transplant patients face when they have to relocate for this life-saving surgery.
