Thanks to our Auction attendees and sponsors, volunteers, item donors, committee members and staff for helping to make the Annual Benefit Auction an enormous success! With your help, this was a record-breaking fundraising event!

Auction items are available to be picked up at the Visitor Center, 3197 Route 44 55, Gardiner, NY. The Visitor Center is open seven days a week from 9 am to 5 pm. Shipments may be arranged by contacting Special Events Manager Tom Leader at tleader@mohonkpreserve.org.

We can’t wait until we get together again next year to do it all again. Save the date: Saturday, September 19, 2026!

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.

If you are new to the Preserve, 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!
