Auction for Athletes

The Auction for Athletes returns April 7 to 10, 2025, for another year of driving life-changing support for Special Olympics BC! 

For more 40 years, B.C.’s New Car Dealers have been making a difference through the Auction for Athletes, raising over $5.65 million! The annual online auction raises vital funds to empower Special Olympics athletes with intellectual disabilities, and help the New Car Dealers Foundation of BC award automotive industry grants and scholarships. 

We need your help to continue this tradition of support! Your donations and bids make a real difference, enabling Special Olympics BC to create empowering connections, open hearts and minds to inclusion, and break down barriers in 55 communities throughout the province.

The auction website annually attracts hundreds of visitors from around the province, bidding on sought-after items and experiences including new cars, electronics, autographed memorabilia, sporting goods, gift cards, and more. Whether you donate an item or place a bid, your generosity directly impact the lives of Special Olympics athletes.
