Telus Friendly Future online auction raising funds to help youth


VANCOUVER — Telus Friendly Future Foundation announced today the launch of its inaugural Friendly Future Online Auction, with 100% of proceeds going directly to Canadian charities that promote youth mental health and well-being, according to a press release.

“At Telus Friendly Future Foundation, we are committed to connecting youth to a world of opportunities,” said the foundation’s executive director, Shanan Spencer-Brown, in the press release.

“Beginning today, and until November 19, Canadians can bid in The Friendly Future Online Auction and ultimately help youth reach their full potential.”

On the auction website, Canadians can bid on hundreds of silent auction items, including weekend getaways, phones and tablets, tickets to sporting events, artwork and collectables, a year’s worth of groceries, and signed sports memorabilia.

The auction items were donated from the foundation’s partners across the country. The foundation’s fundraising goal is $200,000.
