You’re Invited to the 2026 WES Auction!

The annual auction is our biggest fundraising and social event each year. For 2026 it’s a SNEAKER SOIREE on Saturday, October 17, 6 – 10 pm ET.

Go to https://auctria.events/WESauction2026 to reserve your tickets, make donations, practice bidding, and more. Children’s tickets are $20 (yes, that’s for the whole event!) and Adult Tickets are $35 (both include food and drinks). Reserve tickets now and pay after auction along with all your winnings.

WES needs your auction donations now! Enter your donations here: https://tinyurl.com/AuctionDonation2026. Could you host a dinner, brunch, game, or movie night? Give a few gift cards or a set of your favorite items for the kitchen, garage, garden, or craft room? Make something with your own two hands to donate? Provide a service or teach a skill? If you’re unsure an item is auction-worthy or need help with event ideas, email Emily Newman.

Do you have miscellaneous items that don’t make sense to auction off alone but are too awesome not to donate? Cayo can turn them into an elegant themed gift basket! All donations intended for baskets should be coordinated with Cayo Gamber.

For inspiration, you can view prior auction catalogs here, here, and here.
