BID HERE: 

Each summer, thanks to the generosity of our community, more than a dozen children attend KBIA on full scholarship—four unforgettable weeks, completely free of charge. It’s all made possible through the funds we raise at our annual Benefit Auction.

Now in our 155th season, we’re once again offering one-of-a-kind experiences and items you won’t find anywhere else—just like KBIA itself! Bid on unique adventures like:

• A KBIA Pool Party or Paint Party on the lawn

• Front-row seats to a Portland Sea Dogs game

• A kayak adventure or private bonfire at Mother’s Beach

• A home design consultation with Hurlbutt Designs

• A Maine-shaped gold charm from SALT

• A personal style session with Meghan Nesher

Every bid helps bring the joy of summer by the sea to more children. Let’s make magic happen—together!

We’ve changed up our traditional July BBQ + Awards this year, and since we last sent out a note on the Awards & Pizza Party set for this Saturday, we changed around the schedule slightly, so please take note: We will be serving pizza BEFORE the awards. Pizza will be served at 11, and the awards portion of the day will start at 11:30.
