• Sweet Amalia Oyster Farm Private Tour and Picnic Lunch for Six in Cape May, NJ (Est. Value $750)

  Enjoy a unique private tour of Sweet Amalia Oyster Farm, “a national seafood sensation,” followed by a beach picnic prepared by renowned Sweet Amalia Market chef, Melissa McGrath. The Market has been lauded as one of Esquire’s best new restaurants in America in 2022 and made Philadelphia Magazine and Philadelphia Inquirer top restaurant lists in 2021 and 2022. Sweet Amalia is founded and owned by Lisa Calvo, Marine Biologist and co-owner of Sweet Amalia Market and Kitchen.

  On your tour you will learn about Sweet Amalia’s sustainable farming methods, oyster biology and ecology, and the maritime history of Southern New Jersey.  The tour will include an oyster tasting and a shucking lesson. Guests will need to walk about 700 ft from the beach to the farm across sand bars and areas that may have uneven terrain and knee-deep water.  The tour will take about 90 minutes. Your tour guide will be Lisa Calvo. Date will be mutually arranged with Lisa.

  Directly delivered from tide-to-table, Sweet Amalia oysters have gained recognition, becoming a favorite in Philadelphia and Jersey Shore restaurants. In 2021 Lisa co-founded Sweet Amalia Market and Kitchen, a unique roadside farmstand located in her southern New Jersey hometown of Newfield. A pandemic pivot, the Market expanded sales opportunities for both Sweet Amalia and other small farms and producers while celebrating local foodways. Most recently the Market was recognized by The New York Times as one of the 50 Best Restaurants in America!

• Family Portrait Session With Susan Beard (Est. value: $800)

  Susan Beard has been Imagination Ball’s photographer for many years, and for good reasons. She captures the mood, the energy and all the details that make the Ball so memorable.

  Susan had the eye of an artist from an early age. She picked up her first Nikon at the age of 15 and was hooked. Photography became her second language, and her eyes, hands, and camera became her voice.
  And Susan is much more than a photographer, she is an inspired artist who for many years has created the unique awards for our Honorees. Known as Encaustic Painting, each award is created using photography, beeswax and power pigment, giving them a 3-dimensional texture. Then using paints in hues that compliment the image, the awards take on a more painterly feeling, making them a one-of-a-kind original work of art.

  For the 2025 Imagination Ball, we are grateful that Susan is donating a family portrait session for the lucky winner.
