The non-profit organization raised $5,000 in last year’s auction and this year the team is hoping to raise at least $6,000, said Mackenzie Gaytmenn of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley.
All proceeds raised from the online auction will be directly invested in mentoring programs for the children and youth in Langley.
Gaytmenn said the Langley-based group is gradually moving back to in-person events, and the money will help them host those events and engage youth in activities.
