Bid for Broadway at the Beach, our annual summer online auction,
offered the opportunity for patrons to bid from the comfort of their own homes
between July 10th and August 10th this year on incredible items and experiences
that were donated by local businesses. The auction has become one of the most highly anticipated fundraising events of the year. With over 8,500 hits from patrons in all 50 states including 278 cities throughout NJ, the auction ignites the competitive spirit in hundreds of Surflight’s loyal supporters. The final tally was over $15,000, which far exceeded what we originally thought was a lofty goal of $10,000! These funds will be dedicated to Surflight Theatre’s educational programming. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and bidders we raised twice as much money as last year!

Look for our auction’s comeback in July of 2011 at www.BiddingForGood.com/Surflight. In the meantime, we will be working on outdoing ourselves again for next year. If you have an item or unique experience to contribute please contact Brooke at Brooke@Surflight.org.
