LymeNB Online Auction

LymeNB is the registered business name for the New Brunswick Lyme Disease Association Inc., a not-for-profit organization incorporated under the New Brunswick Companies Act in August 2016.  In March 2018, we were granted Charitable Status by the federal government.  What does this mean to you as a business owner?  In a nutshell, any monetary donation you make can be deducted as a donation expense for your business.

In anticipation of our 2^nd Annual On-Line Auction, we are looking for donations from various businesses around New Brunswick. We are asking that you partner with us in our effort to raise funds, whether it be a monetary donation or a donation of a product or service for our on-line auction.

We are undertaking fundraising activities so that we can carry out our mission of preventing tick-borne illnesses, while supporting and being a voice for those affected. Lyme disease is the fastest growing vector-borne infectious disease in North America, and in the world, for that matter.  Contracted through the bite of an infected tick, Lyme disease can be easily treated IF it is caught early.  If left untreated, it can become a debilitating disease affecting multiple body systems and wreak havoc in a person’s life.

Science has demonstrated that tick populations are growing and expanding.  We know this is the case in New Brunswick.  The risk of contracting Lyme disease is therefore also increasing. Prevention and awareness are key.

For further information regarding the on-line auction, you can contact me directly at sandyt2179@hotmail.com or 506-470-9131.  You can also check out our auction site at https://www.32auctions.com/LymeNBonlineauction2018  Auction date is Dec 5 to Dec 8, 2018

Thank you for your careful consideration and anticipated support.

Sincerely,

Sandy Tucker, Treasurer, Finance Committee Chair, LymeNB
