Mark it down on your calendars…Tibet House US is gearing up for another fun and exciting auction at Christie’s, which will be held on Monday, December 6th at Christie’s!

Our Honorary Chair Committee this year is: Christy Turlington Burns & Ed Burns, Donna Karan, Yoko Ono Lennon, Sandra & Eric Ripert, Trudie Styler & Sting, Martin Scorsese, Uma Thurman, and Arden Wohl.

To date, we have acquired a number of exciting donations, including: art pieces from Donald Baechler and Joseph Kosuth; a Great Migration luxury Safari adventure for two in East Africa, custom designed by Explore Inc; an internship at the legendary Rolling Stone and Hollywood magazine US Weekly; a journey to Bhutan for two organized by Geographic Expeditions with accommodations at the renowned Amanresorts; a flight on a private jet to destination of your choice; a week stay at the Villa Kubu and the Legian Resorts in Bali; two VIP tickets to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2010—and these are only the beginning!

The proceeds from our past auctions were a major source of support for the many important projects and programs at Tibet House US. In the spirit of the generosity, that makes this event possible, each year we donate a percentage of the proceeds of the auction to other non-profit organizations. This year we will give a portion of the proceeds to the Tibetan Children's Village (TCV), an integrated educational community for destitute Tibetan children in exile, as well as for hundreds of those escaping from Tibet every year. TCV was established by Tsering Dolma Takla, the elder sister of His Holiness, in 1960 in Dharamsala, India and has been the main school for Tibetan refugee children. We will also continue to give a portion of the proceeds to the Tibetan Community of New York and New Jersey for their on-going project to create a center for the local Tibetan immigrant community.

This annual event has become a festive holiday party for all those who attend, and a sure place to find unique, beautiful and interesting items (and many great bargains...some items up to 50% off retail price!) to take home with you or to give as a holiday gift. We are looking forward to another great evening and as always you will be able to bid on those one-of-a-kind items! See you on December 6th!
