How we put together unique experiences and fundraising goals to fulfill everyone’s dreams!

To begin with, BidAway is an innovative startup based in California, which emerged from two ideas: On the one hand, everyone deserves the chance to fulfill their dreams, so we wanted to give them the opportunity to meet their idols and live a once-in-a-lifetime experience together. On the other hand, we wanted to encourage people to donate money to NGOs and non-profit organizations. If you mix these ideas together, you will get a taste of what is BidAway.

How it works

Today, through real-time online auctions and sweepstakes, BidAway allows people from all over the world to have the opportunity to enjoy unique experiences with international celebrities related with the world of sports, cuisine, music, entertainment, and so on. And the most important part is that many of the exclusive experiences that we offer have a social background because part of the collected money goes to charitable causes carried out by non-profit organizations or NGOs, which are previously chosen by the celebrity hosting the experience. This is a win-win strategy that rewards the participants who make a donation, they support charities, therefore, they are granted more chances to win the grand prize.

An unforgettable experience

The best way to see how BidAway works is by putting the theory into practice, one of our most recent campaigns has been Neymar Jr’s charity sweepstake, in favour of the Instituto Neymar Jr. In this case, the grand prize was a round trip to Barcelona to watch El Clásico live at FCB’s stadium, where the lucky winner and their companion would meet the famous footballer in person. Mélanie, a young girl from France, was the winner of the charity sweepstake starring Neymar Jr., little did she know about the surprises that we had prepared for her… We leave the video below in case you want to check out her experience in Barcelona, don’t miss it!

All in all, BidAway already counts with the support of celebrities related to the world of music, TV, mindfulness and sports. Names as Neymar Jr., Lorena Gómez, Ismael Cala, Laia Sanz, Eric Abidal and Xavi Hernández, are already part of the family of celebrities who, through our online platform, offer their followers a unique and unrepeatable experience in order to collect the raise the maximum amount of money to donate it to NGOs and Foundations, such as Josep Carreras Foundation, Ismael Cala Foundation, Éric Abidal Foundation and Proactiva Open Arms, Instituto Neymar Jr., etc.
