Gala Auction • 11.23.2024

Funds raised through this year’s event will help support the purchase of priority medical equipment needed in the QEH Endoscopy Unit. Notably among them is the GI Genius, a state of the art AI system designed to assist doctors by identifying polyps during procedures. Using this technology can boost the adenoma detection rate by 30%. This higher detection rate means more polyps are found and removed, reducing the risk of them developing into cancer. By detecting and removing these polyps early, we can help keep Islanders healthier and prevent the onset of cancer. 

Yes! We’re excited to share that this year’s event will feature live entertainment by PEI’s premiere funk and soul band, Lady Soul. This high-energy 9-piece ensemble will have you singing and dancing the night away!

Yes, we consider the QEH Yuletide Gala Auction the event of the year! Dress code is cocktail attire. 

Stay tuned for the menu!

Detailed descriptions and pictures will be included with each item on Auctria.

We will charge the total amount of your bidding success to your registered credit card.

Yes. Many priority medical equipment items are up for bid in our auction again this year. If you purchase any of these items you will not only be directly supporting the QEH, you will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your bid.

Generally, items purchased for personal use are not eligible for a tax receipt. However, auction packages that are purchased at a minimum 125% over stated value are considered under CRA guidelines as charitable intent. The purchaser will receive a charitable receipt for the charitable intent portion. Example: Dining Package valued at $1,800 is purchased for $5,000. ($1,800 x 125% = $2,250). $5,000 meets that threshold. Therefore, the $5,000 bid will receive a charitable receipt for $3,200. In the past, our live auction items did not have stated values. Since 2020, this is an extraordinary additional value to our generous Gala Auction bidders!
