Our Silent Auction for the NY Resilience Award is now officially live

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global moment to stand for compassion, generosity, and the belief that healing is possible for everyone. At the MyWhatIf Foundation, this day is a reminder of why we exist: to make survivor-led trauma recovery accessible, hopeful, and impactful.

We are excited to share that the NY Resilience Award Silent Auction is now officially live (link below). It features powerful works from extraordinary artists, collectors, and galleries from around the world. Bidding stays open until December 31, and every winning bid helps fund a full 6 week recovery journey for someone who cannot afford care.

There are just 18 days left until our NY Resilience Award Gala on December 18, a night dedicated to honoring resilience, celebrating creativity, and advancing the future of accessible trauma recovery. This year’s program is truly extraordinary.
