Chair from old lifts at Vail Mountain are up for auction this weekend. The money raised will help the Vail Valley Foundation address a lack of childcare for working families in Eagle County.

Different groups are teaming up with the foundation to build a new childcare facility in Avon.

"Right now we have over 1,000 families in Eagle County who want daycare, who can't get daycare, so it's a big issue, so this is one of the areas we are getting out there to solve this issue," said Tom Boyd with the Vail Valley Foundation.

Bids start at $350. The auction runs through the weekend.
