Jeff Schwarz, known professionally as Jeff the Liquidator, is conducting a year-long series of auctions to benefit the Memorial Ribbon Society, an organization dedicated to supporting families of fallen Police and Peace Officers across Canada. The fourth major auction in this charitable series is scheduled for Saturday, April 13, 2024, featuring numerous high-value items donated by Schwarz's business partners and Direct Liquidation.
The auction showcases an impressive array of items including sports memorabilia such as a framed 'Battle of Alberta' piece signed by Dave Semenko and Tim Hunter in Lot 10A and a Vancouver Canucks signed hockey stick in Lot 10B donated by Lynda Williams and Family. Luxury furniture is also featured with Lot 10C containing a June Queen Storage Bed by Style in Form, generously provided by the renowned furniture and design company.
Schwarz emphasized that successful bidders not only acquire valuable items but directly contribute to supporting families and children of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. He also highlighted the engaging nature of online auctions, encouraging broad participation in the charitable endeavor. Participation is accessible through free registration, and individuals unable to attend the live event can still contribute by placing maximum bids online.
The Memorial Ribbon Society's mission focuses on providing vital support to families of fallen officers through donations and merchandise sales. The organization raises funds to assist grieving families, establish memorials and monuments, and provide educational scholarships to children of fallen officers. The blue and black Memorial Ribbon has become recognized as the national symbol of mourning for fallen heroes in Canada, with efforts underway to establish it as an international symbol. Additional information about the society's work is available at https://www.memorialribbon.org.
With thirty years of experience in buying, selling, and auctioning various items, Schwarz and his teams at Direct Auctions and Direct Liquidation have committed to auctioning donated items throughout 2024, with all proceeds directed to families supported by the Memorial Ribbon Society charity. The organization also accepts direct donations through https://www.memorialribbon.org/donate/ for those wishing to contribute beyond auction participation.
Direct Auctions will continue adding donated lots to each auction throughout the year, promising unique treasures for participants. Those interested can sign up for email notifications to stay informed about upcoming auction items and dates. The April 13th auction offers global shipping options, making participation accessible to international bidders who wish to support Canadian law enforcement families while acquiring distinctive items.
