Live Auction Experience

For those joining us in person, we’re also offering an exclusive live auction — available only at the gala on June 12.

These are our most extraordinary experiences, and while you can preview them now, bidding happens live at the gala only. 

A luxurious 7-night stay in a private 4-bedroom Tuscan villa for up to 8 guests — complete with a private chef, wine tour, cooking class, and concierge service.

An invitation-only dining experience at one of New York City’s most iconic and exclusive restaurants.
