In Lieu of “Evening Under the Stars”, AAP Food Samaritans offers Online Auction

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many events around the world and our Valley to be cancelled or postponed. Among the most prominent events in the Coachella Valley affected was Evening Under the Stars. The event is AAP Food Samaritans signature fundraising event, and always a "must-go" event here in the Valley. It was scheduled for Saturday, May 2 but because of the coronavirus, large gatherings like this were banned to prevent the spread of the virus.

Bidders will be required to register on the secure site which will facilitate payment and provide an option for bidder notifications via text or email. Registered users may then bid on unique auction items, make donations in any amount, or participate in the ‘Jeannette Rockefeller Angel Program.’ 
The auction offers an incredible assortment of auction items such as fine artwork consignments, restaurant and hotel packages, unique excursions, and the items highlighted below. A fine selection of Baccarat crystal will also be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds donated to AAP.

A few of the highlighted items included in the auction are:
1.Private Tour of Jay Leno’s Famous Big Dog Garage

• This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Jay Leno’s famed private car collection and “Big Dog Garage” in Burbank, CA

• Generally, NOT open to the public, Jay’s custom-built Big Dog Garage contains his private collection of more than 200 automobiles and motorcycles. This is a working garage - not a museum.

2.The Ellen DeGeneres Show VIP Tickets
