MV Featured Event - The 39th Possible Dreams Auction

The 39th Possible Dreams Auction

The Auction takes place under a tent on the lawn at the Winnetu Oceanside Resort.

The 39th Annual Possible Dreams Auction will support the work of Martha’s Vineyard Community Services (MVCS); work that strengthens and improves the lives of more than 6,000 Island neighbors each year. Since 1961, MVCS has met the Island’s human service needs through their six core programs.

When: Sunday, July 30th from 3:30-7:30 pm

Where: Winnetu Oceanside Resort: 31 Dunes Road, Edgartown, MA 02539

Registration: $25

One-of-a-kind, ‘Dream” opportunities are donated for live auction, silent auction, super silent auction, and raffle by celebrities with a personal connection to Martha’s Vineyard.

Seth Meyers makes a notable contribution this year with a donation of VIP tickets to a taping of Late Night and a personal meet and greet. Many Island businesses and residents have also donated generous Dreams, like a party for 50 at the Ritz with Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish or a sail on a Black Dog tall ship. 

One of the more memorable Dreams was when a young boy won the opportunity to sit in as copilot in Christopher Reeve’s twin engine plane.

Once you experience how supportive this Island is at the auction, you won’t want to live anywhere else. Become a part of the Martha’s Vineyard community and find your Dream home at Vineyard Open House Real Estate.

 
The Possible Dreams Auction always draws a big crowd of local supporters.
