STARS Live Auction set for Oct. 8 at Canyon Ski Resort in Red Deer
Community members and local businesses will gather to bid on items with proceeds supporting Alberta's air ambulance service.
Why it matters
Funds raised locally help sustain emergency air ambulance service that Red Deer and surrounding communities rely on.
The STARS Live Auction will take place Thursday, October 8, at 7 p.m. at Canyon Ski Resort near Red Deer, hosted by Scott Douglas and AB Auctioneers. The venue has been donated for the event, which aims to raise funds for STARS Air Ambulance.
Organizers say last year's inaugural auction, held in Stettler, raised more than $5,000 for the organization. This year's event will again bring together community members, local businesses, and supporters in support of critical care services.
Money raised through the auction will help fund STARS' operations across Alberta. Since 1985, STARS has completed more than 66,000 missions across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, including 1,473 missions in Alberta this year alone, 70 of which were to Red Deer.
