WCA is excited to announce that, in addition to our online sales, we are now expanding to event silent auctions in support of local organizations and charities. Over the past several months we have realized a demand in our community for our product as well as the need for different fundraising avenues for local organizations. During this time we have contributed thousands of dollars from silent auctions held in support of deserving local groups.
To name a few:
Junior Chamber of Commerce
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
Big Brothers, Big Sisters
Jonathon Neitsch Charitable Hockey Game
Kelowna Rockets Alumni
Penticton Vees
Smile Africa
Tim Hortons/Daily Courier Kelowna International Midget Tournament
Kelowna Ice Dogs Ringette
Senior Girls Basketball
Breast Cancer
Kelowna Ringette Heat @ Glow Tournament
Kelowna kinsmen
Kelowna Pub Putt For Cystic Fibrosis
Vernon Vipers
Salmon Arm Silverbacks
Kelowna Brain Trust
Kelowna Community Food Bank
Kelowna SPCA
Kamloops SPCA
Juvenile Diabetes
Along with the business accomplishments we have gained, we also have found a sense of pride in supporting our community. To see the faces of children and talk to collectors, old and new, has been very rewarding.
When we organize the silent auction you do nothing but collect your proceeds. We arrive at a pre-arranged time and set up. We take pride in presenting items we feel are of interest to the market crowd. We also attend each auction ourselves – there will always be an informed WCA memorabilia expert to answer questions. Pick-up of auction items are the same day but delivery / pick up can be arranged within 2 days. We also offer custom framing options for items won and are sometimes included in the auction pieces. WCA can, alternatively, supply you with items for your fundraising auction.

Wow! Our first event and what a blast it was! WCA raised over $7,000 for the Kinsmen. Many thanks to Darryl, Jamie and everyone else that made this event a BIG success. To top it off, Alex gets to meet a long time hero of his Byron Dafoe.
A huge thank-you goes out to the Kelowna Rockets for the opportunity to showcase our product at numerous Rocket Home Games. You rock Anne-Marie!
"GO ROCKETS GO"
This was our first game. Thanks again to Steve Nake and Alex Draper for the hard work.
Some other events at the Kelowna Rockets Games
This was our 1st Annual Christmas Sale held at the Ramada. Thanks to Alex and Cindy Draper who took care of the whole event from ground floor up. "Alex, this was your first event. You asked to do it. All I said was "Yes". You put your heart into it and it worked out amazing. I thank you." As a side note to others - when good people want to help, believe in them and don't hold them back.
An amazing night was had in Vancouver on May 23,2008. Thanks to Peter and Lindsay from the Kin Club for the invite and the two ladies below for the pic. I did get my butt kicked at the poker game but it was nice to raise some funds for a most deserving cause.
Wow what a feel good event this was. June 14, 2008 RELAY FOR LIFE to raise money for cancer patients. Our heart goes out to you all.
