Bid for a Cause: Sarasota’s Bachelor Charity Auction Returns to McCurdy’s Comedy Club on May 13

May 4, 2025 | Suncoast Post Staff | Events

Get ready for a night of laughter, fun, and heartwarming generosity! On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, McCurdy’s Comedy Club in Sarasota will transform into the ultimate hotspot for giving back as 11 local bachelors take the stage for a one-of-a-kind Charity Bachelor Auction. This unique fundraising event combines entertainment and philanthropy, offering attendees the chance to bid on exciting date packages—all for a great cause.

Ranging in age from 22 to 69, each bachelor will offer a personalized date experience that may include everything from fine dining gift cards and personal training sessions to trolley rides, theater tickets, and gym memberships. These curated experiences aren’t just romantic—they’re designed to help support a variety of impactful nonprofits.

While the bachelor’s compete for the highest bids, local favorites Mark Klecka and Kim Livengood will serve as co-hosts for the evening, bringing their infectious energy and sharp wit to keep the audience engaged and entertained.

The event is chaired by Karen Cadou, who emphasizes the community-driven spirit of the evening. “This is about more than dates,” Cadou shared. “It’s about local people coming together to support causes that matter, from healthcare to the arts and animal welfare.”

All ticket sales for the event will benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, and each bachelor’s winning bid will go directly to the charity of their choice. Some of the featured nonprofits include:

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Manatee Performing Arts Center
Truly Valued
The Humane Society of Sarasota County
Sarasota Holiday Parade
Sertoma Club of Sarasota
DementiAbility
Suncoast Charities for Children
The Sarasota Players

This entertaining and meaningful event is perfect for anyone looking to support local charities while enjoying an unforgettable evening out. Whether you’re bidding or just cheering on your favorite bachelor, your presence will help uplift the community.
