A hand-painted Wade Lewis snowboard, given to Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Clive Geddes last week, will be presented to the highest bidder in a silent auction this Sunday.
The snowboard was given to Mr Geddes by Quiksilver at the store's official opening in the Mountaineer last Friday night.
"It's quite an amazing thing to behold and clearly I was the envy of every snowboarder in the room.
"I was really touched by the generosity of Quiksilver, but I think the only good turn I'm ever going to make with the snowboard is to offer it up for a great cause," Mr Geddes said.
The snowboard, valued about $3000, was being offered for silent auction with the proceeds to go to the Bruce Grant Youth Trust Winter Festival Special Achievers Award recipient for 2009, Queenstown downhill ski racer Tim Cafe.
The snowboard would be at the Quiksilver store.
People could register their bid there until midday on Sunday.
The result would be announced at 4.30pm at Coronet Peak on Sunday, at the final of Rail Jam.
