This post contains photos of items which will be up for bids in our  live and silent auction. The auctions take place at our Can’t Stop the Serenity 2013 charity event on June 22nd (noon-5pm) at the Metro Cinema Society (Garneau Theatre; 8712 109 St, Edmonton).

At our auction we’ll accept cashy money, debit and credit cards. The Metro Cinema Society has an ATM in the lobby if you prefer to stick with cash.

Click on photos to enlarge.

You’ll notice that some donations will list multiple donors. It’s not a mistake. This most often occurs in the case of autographed items. Multiple people may have been involved in making the donation happen and we like to acknowledge all of them. Some will purchase items. Others will take the item, stand in long lines and pay for autographs. And a few shiny stars will donate (or heavily discount) their autograph.

Proceeds from the Edmonton event are divided between Equality Now, Kids Need to Read, and the Edmonton Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS, formerly the Youth Emergency Shelter Society).
