Childhood USA Gala Auction with Mattias Klum

November 18, 2024

On November 14, Childhood USA hosted its highly anticipated Gala Live Auction, delivering an evening of generosity and inspiration. Among the exclusive items up for bidding was an extraordinary 11-day journey to Madagascar led by Mattias Klum.

The auction’s lucky winner secured the chance to explore Madagascar’s breathtaking biodiversity, including a lemur safari and guided experiences with Klum, who shared his unparalleled expertise and passion for the island’s fragile ecosystems. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure was not only a highlight of the event but also drew the highest bid of the evening, raising a remarkable amount to support Childhood USA’s mission.

The evening also featured other spectacular items, from designer jewelry and luxury villa stays to VIP experiences in New York City. Most importantly, the event raised significant funds to support Childhood USA’s vital mission to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation, ensuring a brighter future for vulnerable youth worldwide.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this meaningful cause!
