2026 AUCTION GALA!
Friday, March 27th, 2026
Walnut Creek Marriott
2355 N. Main Street
ALL Tickets On Sale January 29th at 7pm!
Pricing (same as last year):
$150 per person
$300 per couple
$1,500 for a table of 10
This year, we’re keeping things simple and social:
Already have a full table of 10? Amazing.
Want to attend with a few friends but not a full table? Perfect.
Flying solo or excited to meet new families? We’ve got you covered.
We’ll happily seat you with friends you name—or help match you with other parents, including families with similar-aged kids. However you come, you’ll belong.
Space is limited, so be ready to reserve your spot when tickets open.
