The Lake Hopatcong Foundation Auction is officially LIVE — let the bidding, buying, and giving begin!

This year's auction, offered in conjunction with our annual gala, features nearly 70 incredible items and experiences—all supporting our mission to protect Lake Hopatcong and enhance the lake experience for everyone. From one-of-a-kind opportunities to exclusive getaways, there's something for everyone to enjoy! The best part? You can join in from anywhere, on any device!

LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Here are the highlights, so you can have the most fun and make the biggest impact for the Foundation and our lake:

Fund the Mission (Items #101-104): Make a direct impact! Make a donation and help keep our beloved Floating Classroom running strong and stocked with the educational tools our students need.

Premier Auction (Items #200–205): Want to win big while giving back? Bid on standout items like a hydrofoil e-bike, a Caribbean vacation, or other can't miss experiences.

Buy It Now (Items #301–306): Skip the bidding and buy your tickets to our upcoming Pub Crawl, Line Dancing Night, Mixology Class, and more!
