I was watching the gut wrenching videos from Japan and thought that I need to do a something to help out. We did a sponsored musical ride for the 2008 tsunami so this time I thought of doing an online auction. This isn’t high-tech, just something I whipped together with the help of some amazing friends and sponsor, so all bids will need to be emailed to me (eventer6@gmail.com) or posted on the Horses For Japan page on Facebook. Money will go to the Canadian Red Cross via the TD bank on Gore Rd. I’ll keep this blog post updated so you know where each item stands.
Auction ends 12pm EST, March 31st… BE GENEROUS!
