ABOUT TREASURES
Treasures of Christmas is the signature fundraising event for Crossroads Hospice Society. A breath-taking mix of spectacular Christmas trees, delectable food, exciting entertainment, moving presentations, silent and live auctions, door prizes and raffles help support the operation of Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice.
Each year, a dedicated committee of volunteers, with the financial support of our sponsors, takes on the task of organizing this extravagant event. Live auction packages are ready to go, silent auction items are being packaged and the entertainment is booked.
Like all good Christmas traditions we are pleased to announce the return of two of our most popular live auction packages. A Sweet Suite Deal sees you and 13 others take in a Vancouver Canucks game in a private suite at Rogers Arena. And then there is Rollin’ on the River. You invite 11 of your best friends to join you on the beautifully restored Viking King, a retired 70-foot tug, for 8 hours on the water.
2. A Day of Champagne and Wine
We toast to some of the finer things in life with two live auction items The Great Wall…of Wine and the Nouveau Champagne Classique Tree. Entertain in style when you bid on our hand-crafted wine rack stocked full with wines from around BC and beyond. If you are looking for international appeal, Parisian inspired delights can be found under the branches of our champagne glittered tree.
3. Smiles All Around
With Global BC’s Randene Neill and Squire Barnes emceeing the show we are sure to have a grand time. Listen to the seasonal sounds of Top City Jazz Sextet as you enter show theatre and browse the stunning trees. There is even a rumor that a special guest may make and appearance so you might want to be extra nice.
4. All That Glitters
One of our favourite parts of Treasures of Christmas is the Tinsel Raffle. This year you could have a chance to win His and Hers Modavo Diamond Watches valued at $2,700 from Hammond Jewellers. Second prize is Weber Gas Grill and third prize a Magellan Roadmate GPS.
5. Silence is Golden
Our silent auction is guaranteed to please. There’s something for everyone but we do not want to give away too much. Some surprises must remain. We can tell you that there are plenty items from Canucks tickets to beautifully crafted quilts and, just because we want to be nice, there is also a Pandora bracelet hidden in the exciting mix.
6. Pampering Makes Perfect
Live auction packages The Real Housewives of the Tri-Cities and the Retreat Tree will take out of the stress of everyday life and into the realms of extraordinary relaxation. The “Housewives” package features a party with five of your friends that will leave you all feeling and looking 10 years younger after experiencing the latest in cosmetic procedures and products that really work. The Retreat Tree features gifts of treats, travels and comfort for everyone in your family showcased under a traditional decorated tree.
7. Shopping With Glam
The Glam Girl package is sponsored by three exclusive businesses located in Old Towne Port Moody who have teamed up to provide the ultimate fashion and beauty experience featuring, in part, a dress styled by Joseph Ribkoff, a Platinum Druse Pendant and complete hair, nail and makeup treatments. More fashionista delights can be found with the Love to Shop package featuring a private shopping experience with Catherine Dunwoody, a seasoned TV Style Expert and $1,000 in Coquitlam Centre Gift cards.
8. Aloha and Mardi Gras
Two of our featured signature trees showcase the best of Hawaii and New Orleans in creative and festive style. The Royal Hawaiian Tree features everything you would need to feel like you were on a sunny island beach even if you stay at home. Our Mardi Gras Carnival Tree weaves beads, masks, jazz and blues with Cajun and Creole gourmet delights.
9. Elves and Fairies Await
Santa’s elves have taken some time off work to join us at Treasures this year and you will get to meet them, one by one, at each of our signature trees thanks to the performers from Theatrix Youththeatre Society. However, don’t confuse the elves with the fairies at the Fairies Secret Garden Tree where you will experience the magic of twilight and mystical comfort along with enchanted gifts and delights.
10. Sparkle a Child’s Eyes
A Sweet Christmas Tree celebrates the sharing spirit of the holiday season. Imagine the squeals of as your children as they wake up on Christmas morning to find edible and sharable treats on the tree with classic games, toys and gifts under it. For the adults, batteries are all included!
11. Jingled and Be-Dazzled
Our Jingle All the Way Tree invites the bidder to take home some of the best deals of the Christmas season from our sponsor Walmart with over $800 in merchandise under the branches. The beautiful Be-Dazzled Tree, decorated in golds, bronze, crystal and platinum branches, balls, butterflies and bells features everything you need an elegant festive party.
12. Remember Those You Love
Finally we offer you a moment to remember those we love on our Memorial Tree. Your purchase of a sparking dragonfly bracelet can serve as a reminder of the love you shared while helping support our hospice cause.
Well, we look forward to seeing you on November 26 for all the excitement Treasures of Christmas has to offer. For all the latest information or to find out more about our sponsors visit www.treasuresofchristmas.ca . Thank you for your support.
