This August the Okanagan region of British Columbia faced a crisis that tested the strength and resilience of its communities. The McDougall Creek Fire, part of the 2023 Canadian wildfires, broke out near West Kelowna and quickly escalated, forcing the evacuation of West Kelowna and parts of Kelowna.
During these challenging times, our community witnessed an incredible outpouring of support as countless community members and organizations including the Canadian Red Cross, rallied together to aid those in need. Now, we are coming together once more, united in our commitment to give back to those who selflessly supported our community.
Porsche Centre Kelowna proudly presents the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Online Auction. This initiative is our way of raising essential funds to assist those affected by the wildfire and to honor the spirit of unity and resilience that emerged during this difficult period.
Join us in making a difference by raising funds through an online auction with proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross, helping our community recover from the devastating impact of the McDougall Creek Fire.
