Bid on your favorites in Cape May MAC’s Online Auction

Let the bidding begin! With over $15,000 worth of gifts and experiences— generously donated by more than 80 organizations and individuals—the 2023 Cape May Preservation Fund Online Auction is officially live.

During the month of February, Cape May MAC is auctioning off fun and unique items to raise money for our annual capital campaign supporting the Cape May Preservation Fund. Proceeds are already earmarked for continued restoration at the Emlen Physick Estate — the historic landmark whose preservation launched the founding of Cape May MAC over 50 years ago. We have secured grant funding to install much-needed HVAC and Fire Suppression systems within the Physick House Museum, but we must raise funds to match these grants. Every day we operate the museum without climate control systems puts over 6,000 Victorian-era artifacts at risk of deterioration. Of course, a fire without a fire suppression system installed could destroy these artifacts and the iconic Frank Furnessdesigned mansion that houses them.

Thank you to our generous donors who have provided some fantastic items to bid on. Bidding items include:

• A relaxing trip to the Cape May Day Spa

• Oyster-tasting and cocktail-pairing at the Nature Center of Cape May

• A “Treat Yourself” rental package from Coastline Realty

• A private cello concert to be performed at your own home or party
