BACCF 2025 Gala Silent Auction

The Silent Auction is a valued tradition of the Independence Gala of the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, Inc. (“BACCF” or “Chamber”), offering participants a meaningful way to support the Chamber’s mission. Proceeds support the BACCF’s mission, as the premier organization fostering business, trade, and investment between Brazil and the United States.

By participating in the BACCF 2025 Gala Silent Auction, you will help the BACCF expand programs, initiatives, and events that connect and empower our business community. Your generosity ensures that the Chamber continues to serve as a bridge for opportunity, growth, and collaboration.

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about the talented artists, businesses, and community partners who have generously contributed their work and services to this year’s Silent Auction.
