Jeff Schwarz, owner of Direct Liquidation and Direct Auctions, has committed to conducting auctions throughout 2024 featuring donated items with all proceeds supporting the Memorial Ribbon Society. The initiative builds on previous successful fundraising events, with the third auction scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2024. Schwarz, known professionally as 'Jeff the Liquidator,' is collaborating with major donors and business partners to maximize the charitable impact of these auctions.
The Memorial Ribbon Society provides crucial support to families of fallen Police and Peace Officers across Canada, offering educational scholarships to children of deceased officers and financial assistance to grieving families. This partnership represents a significant boost to the organization's fundraising capabilities, with multiple auctions planned throughout the year. The ongoing nature of this collaboration ensures sustained support for families who have lost loved ones in law enforcement service.
Among the notable items donated for the April 6 auction is a New Echelon Connect EX-4s Spin Bike with 25.5 cm (10-in.) HD Touch-screen Monitor and 1-year Subscription contributed by Big Box Outlet Store. Schwarz has also personally donated a New Frigidaire Retro Refrigerator 3.2 cu. ft., Black with a retail value of $200 to the cause. These items, along with other donated lots, will be available for bidding through Direct Auctions' online platform.
Schwarz emphasized the dual benefit of participation in these auctions, stating that successful bidders not only acquire valuable items but also contribute directly to supporting families and children of fallen law enforcement officers. He noted that the online auction format provides an engaging experience with live interaction between bidders. Participation requires simple registration through the auction platform at Direct Auctions, with no cost to register or bid.
The continuation of donated lots throughout 2024 ensures ongoing financial support for the Memorial Ribbon Society's mission. This sustained partnership between Direct Liquidation and the charitable organization represents a meaningful corporate commitment to supporting law enforcement families during their most challenging times. The auction model allows community members to participate in fundraising while potentially acquiring valuable merchandise, creating a win-win scenario for all involved parties.
