24th Annual Benefit Auction Report

Once again foliage was on point for the auction this year!  If you’re reading this from a distance, and think you’d enjoy taking in Vermont fall foliage, mark your calendar for next year.  September 25, 2027.  We may even have a room for you.

This year included details we have come to love.  Many camp friends and families from near and far, neighbors, Phil’s doughnuts, and spending way too much money on pickles and maple syrup.  Some of the BBC seasonal staff and campers helped to run the event.  The team did a great job, from food service, to auction logistics. The Auction Committee did a fantastic job soliciting items, putting the list together, and setting up the week before.

Money trickles in the week after, because people add on amounts as they pay and check out so the final total is not known, but at time of writing, counting the challenge match, mug club, sponsorships, bidding, etc. the event total is over $80,000!  If you would like to contribute to the Kids to Camp need, or the Tiny Homes, you can do that here.  In fact, there is a $10,000 match on the tiny homes from now through October 10.  Will you help us get that dollar for dollar match?

Would you consider joining the auction committee?  If so, please reach out to me by calling or emailing the camp office. Simply click on contact us below.  For those of you who like to know how things sold, find that list and amounts here.  You can even watch the auction here.

Thanks to all who contributed, and helped,
