A Great Opportunity to Raise Scholarship Funds 

Charitybuzz, an organization with global access to individuals who want – and are willing to pay for – the best of the best, is partnering with LDNY!  This means our members and their networks can raise significant amounts of money, by contributing one-of-a-kind experiences, exclusive access to special events, and extraordinary products.  

Note that these experiences do NOT have to be limited to New York, or even US based.  Since bidders come from – and can easily go – anyplace in the world to enjoy their winning auction lot!

Food & Wine is the first curated auction we will participate in – running from July 20th – August 5th.  It’s easy – Charitybuzz builds and manages the site and promotes it to its customers.  Lots must be finalized by mid-June, to allow for copy to be written, images to be gathered and all necessary approvals from everyone involved.  

Here’s how you can help Charitybuzz customers: 

• Virtual and in-person cooking lessons from celebrity chefs
• Access to the world’s top restaurants, chef’s tables and other dining experiences 
• The finest wines, whiskeys and more 
• Wine tastings, distillery tours and other destination experiences

Past auction lots have included: 

• Virtual Cooking Lesson with Andrew Zimmern, James Beard Chef – $16,800
• Create & Customize a Personalized HATT et SÖNER Champagne with a Winemaker Consultation & a 2 Night Stay at Château d’Etoges – $10,500
• Napa Valley Wine Tasting at Colgin Cellars & a Meritage “lX Estate” 2014 Magnum Bottle From Colgin – $3,000
• Virtual Biscuit Making Class with Food Network Star, Carla Hall – $2,800
• Private Dining Experience for 6 People at 1 White St in NYC – $2,275

This is a fantastic way to bring in scholarship funds, while elevating your or your client’s personal brands due to the buzz-building nature of this initiative.
