For TBF’s 40th Anniversary Gala, the celebration is starting early! For the first time ever, TBF is opening its silent auction one week before the event, giving guests an early opportunity to browse online and bid on an exceptional lineup of trips, experiences, gear, and unique items.
Traditionally, auction items are revealed on gala night, but this milestone year called for something special. With so many standout offerings, opening bidding early gives attendees more time to find their favorites, plan their bids, and get a head start before the big night.
A SNEAK PEEK AT WHAT’S COMING
From a DJI Mini Drone and a Turtlebox speaker to a paddleboard and standout jewelry, here’s a first look at a few of this year’s auction highlights.
Plus, James Williams’s marlin sculpture will be featured in the live auction on Gala night.
Best of all, every bid supports The Billfish Foundation’s mission. Proceeds from the silent auction directly fund TBF’s billfish conservation efforts, including research, education, advocacy, tagging programs, and Groundswell Projects around the world.
Bids will open one week before the gala, on October 23rd, 2026!
