There are two primary ways that you can help: be a volunteer and/or donate.
If you are available to help on the day of the benefit (Saturday, November 20th) volunteering your time to assist in managing one of many areas would be greatly appreciated. It is not required that you are present throughout the entire event. Your help will be happily accepted during a block of time that is convenient for you. A financial donation can be made through PayPal (see the Donate button on right), at any RBC Bank Branch (write checks to Sharri Kimberley Cancer Fund ) or in person at the Benefit event. Also, we are accepting any items for donation which could be used in an auction, raffle or basket (see below for fun basket ideas!!!). Gift certificates and gift cards are also appreciated.

A basket is not a requirement, any container in which items will fit works fine (& if the item does not need a container because it contains itself, that's fine too!)
We can use smaller, individual items as well: t-shirts, baseball caps, baked goods (pie, cake,) bottle of wine, (age requirement), a child's toy, pet food, anything!
More costly items will be either at a special table with tickets of a higher cost, or will be auction or raffled separately
All donations are greatly appreciated!
