The South West Chronic Disease Support Group recently wrapped up their annual Spirit of the Season virtual fundraising Auction.

Patty Wright is the fundraiser lead and said they had to set things up differently this year for the Auction, "We were not able to run it as a public page on South West Chronic Disease, which is what we were hoping. So, I had to run it as an event under my own name. So I sent out an invitation to all my friends, and people would donate any items. They were than able to invite and share their friends."

The Auction which ran from November 14-24,  was another success this year raising $5600, with plans already in the works for next year.

The South West Chronic Disease Support Group is a non-profit charity that was formed to help people in the communities of Shaunavon, Gull Lake, Eastend, Climax, and the southline experiencing hardship due to extra costs associated with chronic disease and illness.

Last year the group raised almost $9,000.
