NEW YORK (NY) - The annual Bailey House Auction and Party will be brimming with famous stars this year. Jane Pauley, Robert Verdi, and a number of Real Housewives are among the celebrity guests who are attending the bash, which is being hosted by fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo and Sherri Shepherd of The View.
Once again, affluent, philanthropic New Yorkers will gather and mingle, bidding on exquisite art and photography, vintage women's clothing, home design, and exceptional adventures.
Featured items include a date with captivating Bravo host Andy Cohen, a luxurious Costa Rican Getaway, exceptional photography by Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts and William Wegman and many more auction items!
Since 1983, Bailey House has been a leader in the field of AIDS housing.
While the focus of the AIDS epidemic has shifted, Bailey House's commitment to provide housing, based on the idea that the future starts with a place to live, has remained constant.
Bailey House's commitment is to empower people living with HIV/AIDS, their loved ones, and the communities and agencies that serve them to achieve their fullest potential through the development and provision of housing and vital services.
At the Bailey House Auction and Party, there is something for everyone. Tickets, too, are priced for everyone, ranging from $250 to $5,000. The Armory will be aglow with Tiffany's holiday interior expert, Geoff Howell, taking over this year's event design.
In addition, guests will bring the splendor of the party home with them, as everyone will receive a fabulous beauty bag. Included with the designer items is a full pair of Marc Jacobs gloves, absolutely perfect for this crazy winter weather.
Take a stand against HIV/AIDS - attend the Bailey House Auction and Party and support their housing programs and critical services.
