The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
The Grandmother’s Charity Chair Auction has moved online this year due to COVID-19. Sixteen local artists have generously taken a children’s wooden chair and lovingly turned it into a work of art. Starting on Friday, Dec. 4, you can bid on your favourite chair. Just keep checking in as the bids increase. At the end of the auction, on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 8 pm, you may be the proud owner of a delightful hand-painted children’s chair, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your money has gone to a wonderful organization. The local Grandmother’s Group is part of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, united by their commitment to support the work of African grandmothers who are raising a generation of children orphaned by AIDS. Go to the auction website to find images of the chairs, instructions for bidding, and delivery and pick-up options: www.32auctions.com/grandmotherschairauction.
