Nissan Micra Charity Auction

12/15/2020

A huge thank you to everyone involved! Val was overwhelmed with the response and enthusiasm. We raised over $7300 total for Riverside Foundation for Health Care. The vehicle high bid and winner was Nicole Therrien. She was tearing up the roads before winter and has now put it away until spring.

When she retired in 1987, Val Grant bought herself a Nissan Micra. As she spent her winters out west, it stayed tucked away until she returned each spring. So at 33 years old it only had 138,000kms on it.

At 98 years young, Val decided it was time to hang up her driving gloves. Instead of just selling her car, she auctioned it off in October in benefit of the Riverside Foundation for Health Care with all funds to be directed to the Rainy River Health Centre.

The car was won by Nicole Therrien for $2,600. Val's giving spirit was infectious and inspired four local business's; Kreger Sales & Service, Tait Brothers Contracting LTD, Brielmann Agriculture Ltd. and Northend Farms Limited to donate $1,000 each towards the cause in her honour. In addition a $50 and a $500USD individual donation came in, bringing the grand total of funds raised to $6,650 CAD and $500 USD!

Pictured are Marty Kreger from Kreger Sales & Service Inc, Jesse Tait of Tait Bros Contraction Ltd, Timo Brielmann of Brielman Agriculture, Val Grant, Foundation Director Allison Cox and Foundation Board Member Bev Langner.

Thank you so much to Val and everyone that donated in her honour for supporting health care close to home!

This is a true little old Lady, never winter driven car story!
Mom (Val Grant) bought her car in 1987 when she retired. She spent winters out West so her little car was tucked away in the garage until she returned each spring. It’s now 33 years old and has only 138,000 KM’s. It’s only seen snow a couple of years but never driven in it.
Although Mom (Val) was a good driver, we often joked about steering clear when she was out and about driving. She has now decided she no longer wishes to drive and at 98 years young, that’s OK. Her last drive was this spring out to Morson. She loves that drive and scenery!
Her car has been good to her and she would like to do something good with the car. She has decided to auction her car and have the proceeds go to the hospital. Just a little way carry on the goodness of her little car!
