This year we are offering our first ever hybrid auction event! This auction will be truly unique, as all of the live auction items will be available to both those who are in-person and remote. Also, the silent auction will be held online so anyone can participate. In-person tickets are limited, so are likely to sell out quickly! Get all the details below to be ready for tickets sales on Tuesday:
Auction theme: Seattle Glam…Come as you are
When: Saturday, March 12, 2022 6:00-9:30 pm
Where: Brockey Center at South Seattle College and Online
How: Ticket sales will begin on Tuesday, February 15th at 7 pm, via this link.
Ticket prices:
In-Person: $85/person, $170/couple
