How to bid in our virtual auction

November 13–22, 2026

Over 100 great items to bid on, all supporting the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Foundation!

1. Find something you love!

Visit our Facebook page and browse the auction items in our newsfeed.

Each item has its own numbered post, complete with a description, declared value and donor information.

Keep checking back! We'll be adding approximately 20 new items each day throughout the auction.

2. Check the latest bid

Open the comments on the item you're interested in.

Important: Change the Facebook comment sorting option to "Newest" or "Most recent" so you can see the latest bids. Facebook doesn't always display comments in chronological order.

3. Place your bid!

Simply enter your bid amount in the comments.

There are no minimum bids or required bidding increments, but your bid must be higher than the current highest bid.

Check back regularly — someone might outbid you!

4. Watch for surprise closings!

All bidding closes on Sunday, November 22, but not every item closes at the same time!

We'll close items in groups throughout the day, with the final groups closing around 5 p.m.

Bidding remains open until we post "BIDDING CLOSED" in that item's comments.

The highest valid bid posted before our closing announcement wins!

5. You've won! Now what?

Winning bidders will be announced in the comments of their respective auction items.

We'll also send winners a private Facebook message with payment and pickup instructions.

• Payment: Cash is preferred, as it helps more of your contribution go directly to the Foundation. E-transfer is also accepted.  The email address will be sent to winning bidders in the private message they receive via Facebook Messenger.
  
  
• Pickup: Please arrange payment and pickup within 48 hours of winning.
  
  

Thank you for supporting local health care!

Every bid helps strengthen care close to home.
