TV, eh? Charity Auction: To Be Continued …

Previously, on the TV, eh? Midseason Charity Auction … over $6,500 was raised. But it ended on a cliffhanger: would the House auction package ever be allowed to cross the border? Or had Dr. House made one too many jokes about Canadians?

Spoiler alert: it finally arrived and is up for bid, along with a few other items re-donated from last time.

All proceeds again will go to Kids Help Phone, a free, anonymous and confidential phone and on-line professional counselling service for youth. Prices are in Canadian currency.

Auction closes February 3, 2012 at 13:00 PT.

Questions? Contact Diane.

If you don’t want to bid but want to support the cause, please donate directly to Kids Help Phone and tell them TV, eh? sent you. Otherwise, bid away …
