Charity Auction to support research 2025

An Auction to accelerate research

The online Solidarity Auction ran from 4 October to 10 November 2025: every bid helped drive research and bring vision closer to thousands of children with Usher syndrome type 1B. It culminated at the La Nit de la Visió gala on 14 November with a live auction of exclusive items.

Why it matters

Every winning bid fuels research and treatments for Usher syndrome type 1B, bringing real hope to children and families.

⚠️Tax note (Spain): For individual donors, bids won count as a donation to the Foundation and may qualify for tax deductions under Law 49/2002 (see details in the catalogue).

Because no child should grow up in silence and darkness.

How the online auction worked

  1. Explore the catalogue
    Browse experiences, art, design, sports items, and getaways. Open any lot to see photos, details, and the bidding timeline.

  2. Create your account & sign in
    It takes a minute. This lets you place bids, set a watchlist, and receive outbid alerts by email.

  3. Place your bid (or use Auto-Bid)
    Enter your bid or set a maximum and let Auto-Bid do the work: it only goes up when someone outbids you.

  4. Track & get notified
    Add items to your Watchlist and you’ll be notified when you’re outbid or when a lot is about to close.

  5. Win, pay, and receive your item
    If you win, complete checkout securely. Most items ship Europe-wide; a few oversized pieces are limited to Spain or Switzerland (each lot specifies shipping).

  6. Boost the impact: share it!
    Send the catalogue to friends and family and plan meaningful gifts for the holidays.
