What is one of the best ways to support innovative design and
Palm Beach County culture? Go to the Yuppie Auction, of course!

The second annual Yuppie Auction takes place at the Omphoy Ocean Resort on April 22, 7:00 p.m. Proceeds benefit Design Forward 2011 and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council.

This is no ordinary Yuppie Auction and dinner party. Sure, just visiting and dining in the slick new Omphoy featuring chef extraordinaire Michelle Bernstein is a special experience. But to see what makes this auction really unique is a closely guarded secret that will only be revealed the night of the event. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot soon!

Design Forward was created to promote awareness of design in Palm Beach County. The 2011 showcase will focus on urban design and how design can interact with and improve a community. The premier Design Forward was held in April, 2009 and featured attainable, sustainable interiors by seven young designers creating rooms for under $3,000. Over 350 people attended the opening night party, which raised $10,000 for the Cultural Council’s education programs.
 

Design Forward Chairmen are Hilary Jordan and Dack Patriarca. The Yuppie Auction chairman is Jay Holmes. The committee is Mary Brittain Cheatham, Kevin Clark, Benjamin and Christina  Macfarland, Bertram and Kathryn Martin, Andrew Steel, Tara Tobin and Erik Waldin. Sponsors include the Omphoy Ocean Resort, Palm Beach Philanthropy, Real Good Designs and
Fusedog Media.
 

Tickets are $125.00 and include cocktails and dinner.
