FAQ
What is the Bizarre Bazaar?
The Bizarre Bazaar, or "BizBaz" for short, is an annual auction run by Alpha Delta Phi, a coed literary society at Brown University. Over the years we have raised upwards of a hundred thousand dollars for local charities.
When is the Bizarre Bazaar?
This year BizBaz will be held on Thursday, April 16 in the afternoon from 12:00 to 5:00 on Wriston Quad, in front of the Ratty.
Who does this auction benefit?
The proceeds of the auction will be donated to Summerbridge, a Providence charity that takes disadvantaged middle school students in Providence who want a better education, and gives them mentors and tutoring year-round as well as summer classes. BizBaz provides a substantial percentage of their annual operating budget. Moreover, we're donating a portion of the proceeds from this year's auction to our own literary endowment.
