Year-Long Auction Series Supports Families of Fallen Canadian Police Officers

Jeff Schwarz, known professionally as Jeff the Liquidator, is hosting a year-long series of auctions to benefit the Memorial Ribbon Society, an organization dedicated to supporting families of fallen Police and Peace Officers throughout Canada. The fourth major auction in this charitable series is scheduled for Saturday, April 13, 2024, featuring an array of high-value items donated by Schwarz's business partners and Direct Liquidation. This ongoing initiative represents a significant fundraising effort for an organization that provides essential assistance to those who have lost loved ones in law enforcement service.

The upcoming auction showcases diverse items including premium 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. The auction also features luxury furniture items including the June Queen Storage Bed by Style in Form in Lot 10C, donated by the renowned furniture company. Schwarz emphasized that successful bidders not only acquire valuable items but directly contribute to supporting families and children of fallen law enforcement officers through their purchases.

Participation in the auction is accessible through free registration, and individuals who cannot attend the live event can still contribute by placing maximum bids online. Direct Auctions continues to add donated lots throughout the year, ensuring fresh opportunities for participation. The Memorial Ribbon Society's mission focuses on providing vital support to grieving families, establishing memorials and monuments, and funding scholarships for children of fallen officers. The organization's 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.

Schwarz brings thirty years of experience in buying, selling, and auctioning various items to this charitable endeavor. His companies, Direct Auctions and Direct Liquidation, have partnered with the Memorial Ribbon Society to auction items throughout 2024, with all proceeds directed to the charity's families. The collaboration represents a substantial commitment to supporting those affected by line-of-duty deaths in law enforcement.
