The Easel Program
We’re delighted to host and work with a partnership program (Funding Innovation) that operates ongoing sealed-bid art auctions that can be found throughout the Hospital and at retail locations across the Pembroke area.
Each month a new piece of artwork is featured, encouraging visitors to bid in a silent-auction format so they can add the artwork to their home and office spaces. Through this program, the majority of proceeds go directly back to our Foundation which supports our monthly and yearly goals.
COMMUNITY BENEFITS
Due to our partnership with Funding Innovation who helps assume the cost of hosting and operating the program, our community benefits from 100% of the proceeds raised through these sealed-bid art auctions.
IMPACT
The highest-bid on each piece of artwork is collected as a charitable donation towards our Foundation, which goes towards our ongoing and pressing patient-care needs.
HOW TO HELP
You can contribute to this program by making a bid on the artwork when you see it next in our hospital corridors or at one of our local retailers (see full list below). If you are a retailer you can host an easel for us at your establishment.
