The Benefit Auction is a highlight each year as Preserve members, donors and friends gather in a beautiful setting to celebrate the land and raise money for the Preserve’s award-winning program areas.

Whether you’ve been to previous auctions or are new to the area, we invite you to join the party at the Mohonk Mountain House for a sensational evening of bidding on silent and live auction items, raising a paddle in support of Mohonk Preserve program areas, and just having fun with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts who share common connections of conservation, education, stewardship of the land and love for this amazing place so many call home.

Browse a wide range of silent auction items while bidding on your favorites using the convenient online bidding platform. Listen to live swing music while you sip a refreshing beverage and chat with friends old and new.

Enjoy a delicious buffet-style dinner and get caught up in the excitement of bidding on live auction items including unique on-land adventures, handmade furniture and private dining experiences. Raise a paddle in support of Mohonk Preserve’s program areas which bring environmental education to school children, enable research funding to help mitigate climate change on the ridge, promote stewardship of our historic lands and carriage roads, and provide for a highly trained team of rangers for rescue and visitor support.

Don’t miss this night to remember!
