B*CURED announces the launch of its online auction: BID to Beat Brain Cancer, with once-in-a-lifetime packages spanning the realms of fashion, travel, sport, food, entertainment and more.
The auction was launched in connection with the organization’s 5th Annual “Field Day at Night.” This year on March 4, supporters will “party on the turf” at Chelsea Piers to help “Serve Up a Cure” for Brain Cancer.
B*CURED’s auction has seen an unprecedented level of support from corporate partners and celebrity supporters who have donated a range of exclusive packages, and the timing couldn’t be better. “This past September, Pediatric brain tumors became the leading cause of cancer-related death among children and adolescents ages 0-19, surpassing leukemia,” said Karena Bailey, B*CURED Co-President. “It’s a stark reminder that we must do better and re-double our efforts to find new and more effective treatments.”
The auction features experiences such as the chance to meet musician, Alicia Keys, join Celebrity Chef Todd English at the opening of his new Food Hall: American Market and enjoy a private tour of Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels Sale; exclusive trips, including accommodations in a beachfront suite at The Reef by CuisinArt in Anguilla, a getaway to a Relais & Chateaux destination in Costa Rica’s cloud forest and a private home in Aspen; and top access for sport’s enthusiasts, including team tickets and field passes to a Giants game and the chance to hit the links at premiere golf courses, including Winged Foot, Oak Hill and Hudson National.
The auction can be accessed at 501auctions.com/bcured2017/category/all/1. Bidding ends March 4 at 9:30 p.m. EST.
