The Butterfly Benefit Online & Live Auctions

Bidding for the Online Auction opens Friday, May 1st and closes Friday, May 8th at 12:00 PM.

New items are being added every day, so check back often. Every package in this auction reflects the generosity of incredible New England businesses who believe in our mission — we're so grateful for their support, and hope you'll show them some love by shopping local!

A special thank you to our Auction Sponsor, Merri-Mar Yacht Basin, whose support helps bring this all together.
