Thank you to those who participated in our Annual Auction!

The annual online auction is one of two major fundraisers here at The Music Hall (the other being Kitchen Tour but you’ll hear more about that soon enough!). As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, we rely on the support of you, our community, to ensure that we are able to continue offering inspiring programs in music, theater, dance, and cinema.

A nice side benefit of this online auction is that it helps us to extend our community. Winning bidders hailed from across the country, from San Francisco, CA to Naples, FL. Some of you were long-time friends but more than 75 bidders were new to us. In the end, we had more than 1,673 bids on our 244 items!

Hot items this year included Dinner for Two on the Top of the Newburyport Lighthouse, a visit to the Portsmouth Escape Room, Patriots tickets, and tickets to a taping of “Late Night with Seth Meyers”.

Again, many thanks to The Beach Plum, our first ever auction sponsor, our donors, and our bidders. If you missed out this time around, check back with us next November when we have a new slate of items!

There’s still time to take advantage of a special holiday deal from our Auction Sponsor, The Beach Plum: purchase a Beach Plum gift card now through December 31, 2017 and receive a bonus gift card worth 25% of your total balance! You can find out more HERE .
