About The Auction
Auction 2024 was on Friday, May 31!
The CDS Dinner & Auction is our most anticipated adult social event, as well as the largest fundraiser of the year. The evening features live music and entertainment, cocktails and dinner, a live and silent auction, and much more. CDS families and friends have been coming together to celebrate and make this event a huge success since 1974, raising in excess of $6 million dollars since the beginning.

The CDS Dinner & Auction has historically been referred to as the “best annual event in King.” First held in 1974 at Eaton Hall on Seneca College’s King campus, this unforgettable event has consistently raised upwards of $200,000 each year, for the past 47 years!
For ten years, this event has been held in our Cyclone Dome, which gets transformed from soccer dome to party setting. The photos and videos will bring the event to life for you, but can only attempt to do it justice.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors, advertisers and donors to this year's event.
