Benefit Auction

2012 tibet house us benefit auction at C H R I S T I E ’ S 

On Tuesday, December 18, we held our 10th annual auction at Christie’s at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.

Every year the auction offers an array of unique and diverse items where bidders can most often count on walking away with a good deal. This year bidders were not disappointed.

Whether it is an once-in-a-lifetime internship experience, or a walk-on role in a film, or an incredible journey to an exotic part of the world, auction aficionados have learned that the Tibet House US Auction is the place to go for fun and glamorous holiday gifts.    

This year’s auction was greatly supported by Uma Thurman who jumped in and encouraged two of the live auction items to be offered twice, including her and her father’s lunch at the Four Seasons Restaurant and the Eric Ripert behind-the-scenes experience for his “On The Table” show, and dinner for four at Le Bernardin.

We are deeply grateful to all our supporters who contributed to the auction and who purchased items at the event.  We are also very appreciative to Dr. Hugo Weihe and Christie’s for their on-going support of Tibet House US.

The auction’s success is crucial to the many projects and programs at Tibet House US as well as for the support of the local Tibetan community.  If you missed this year’s wonderful event, you will have another opportunity as another auction is planned for the end of next year!
