Provenance Properties will host an
online charity auction to benefit Cayman’s Acts of Random Kindness
(ARK) on Thursday, 23 July from 5 to 8 p.m. Funds raised will go
towards ARK Feed Cayman 2020 initiative, aiming to produce and donate
hot meals across the island, as an increased number of people are
facing challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Donations for
the auction may include art, small bespoke pieces of furniture and
décor, luxury experiences and designer luxury items such as
handbags, clothing and jewellery. If interested in donating, please
contact destinations@dart.ky
to provide photos and details of items to be donated.

Guests will access the event through an
online auction platform, which enables them to track their favourite
items and see how bids are progressing. Guests can participate by
placing a bid on any of the donated items or by providing a cash
donation. The auction site will open in the days prior to the event,
allowing for attendees to explore what is for auction and select the
items they plan to bid on.

“We are proud to partner with an
organisation that has been tirelessly providing relief to those who
are struggling in our community, as part of our commitment to
contribute to economic recovery efforts in the Cayman Islands,”
said Jackie Doak, broker at Provenance Properties and president of
business development at Dart. “As a brokerage we know that
clutter-free spaces in homes enhance liveability and, for those
wishing to sell their properties, the appeal of the property also.
Many Cayman residents took the opportunity to clean up their space
whilst sheltering in place. We hope this auction provides an outlet
for those items that in turn can help others in need.”

All donations from the auction will be
directed towards ARK’s Feed Cayman programme, which aims to
distribute hot meals and food cards (for the island’s major
supermarkets) within the community. Since March 2020, this list has
significantly increased as the programme is not only targeting
vulnerable families, but also individuals who have suffered job
losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Founded in 2006, Cayman’s ARK
is a registered non-profit organisation run solely by volunteers.

“ARK is delighted by the invaluable
support of Provenance Properties and the opportunity to benefit from
the fabulous online charity auction,” said Tara Nielsen, founder of
Cayman’s ARK.

Ms. Nielsen added that ARK has been
operating its Kindness Kitchen for more than three months, after
starting the initiative in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and has
so far provided 8,000 hot meals and soups for more than 2,000 people
a week. “However, we still have a long way to go…hundreds of
people still depend on food support.

“ARK relies 100% on private-sector
donations; an event such as this online auction will enable us to
continue our vital work to provide hunger relief for those impacted
by the economic and social effects of COVID-19. ARK is sincerely
grateful to Provenance Properties and to all those who donate items
to auction.”
