AFGI Supports Scrubs in the City “Soirée Under the Stars” with Premier Silent Auction Services
AFGI was proud to provide professional silent auction services for the highly anticipated Scrubs in the City: Soirée Under the Stars—one of Toronto’s most recognized and impactful charity fundraising galas in support of SickKids Foundation. This stunning all-white affair brought together the city’s most generous donors, sponsors, and community leaders, raising over $450,000 in support of the SickKids Operating Suites Redevelopment Project. As a premier example of high-end gala fundraising, the evening combined elegance, energy, and purpose—creating the ideal setting for a strategically executed silent auction fundraiser.
AFGI played a key role in the event’s success by delivering a fully customized, turn-key silent auction solution designed to maximize donor engagement and increase overall fundraising results. As a leading charity auction company in Canada, AFGI curated a premium selection of auction items tailored specifically to the audience, including luxury experiences, designer jewellery, exclusive packages, and high-demand lifestyle offerings. Each item was strategically selected and positioned to encourage competitive bidding, ensuring strong participation and higher bid values throughout the evening.
From auction planning and item procurement to professional display setup, bid sheet optimization, and on-site event management, AFGI handled every aspect of the silent auction with precision and expertise. Our team created a seamless and visually compelling auction environment that blended effortlessly with the event’s sophisticated ambiance, enhancing both the guest experience and fundraising performance. By leveraging proven silent auction strategies, we helped transform the auction into a central revenue-driving component of the gala.
Co-hosted by ET Canada’s Cheryl Hickey and Sangita Patel, the event featured dynamic entertainment including high-energy performances by Sole Power and music from DJ Floh Back—creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere that made bidding both exciting and interactive. AFGI’s silent auction was thoughtfully integrated into this environment, ensuring that guests could easily participate while enjoying the evening’s programming.
