Preceding the only-to-be-seen-once performance of the seventh edition of the Cirque du Soleil-imagined One Night for ONE DROP – on Friday, March 08; International Women’s Day – guests from across the globe will partake of a thrilling live auction featuring a half-dozen world-class luxury items and indulgent experiences with values reaching into the hundreds of thousands (of US dollars).

And while I love pointing out that the previous six editions of One Night for ONE DROP have raised more than $35 million in support of ONE DROP’s mission – to engage communities in taking ownership of and embracing adequate behaviors towards water, sanitation, and hygiene; I delight in underscoring that a significant portion of these funds have been directed to funding partnerships (with organizations including Springs Preserve, DISCOVERY Children’s Museum, and WaterStart) that educate the Las Vegas community on safe water access and ongoing water innovations.

So, here’s a chance for you to preview these six exceptional lots; with links upon which you can click (like HERE, for instance) for bidding information, auction registration, and tickets. 

Happy bidding, and I’ll see you on the blue carpet!
