The event will be cocktail attire: it’s a semi-formal look or outfit that will take you from day to night, bridging the gap between casual daywear and formal evening attire. No fashion rules apply, so just dress up and enjoy a night out!

The event begins with appetizers at 6:00 p.m. On arrival, please check in at the registration desk.  Coat check will be nearby.

The Live Auction will feature larger ticket items such as a UW Huskies football game day package with pre-game tailgating aboard a yacht, a shopping spree and personal styling package, a San Diego getaway package, a stay at a ski lodge home in Big Sky, MT, etc. The Live Auction list will be emailed out to all registered attendees the week prior to the event so you can preview the Live Auction items, and talk with any friends you are planning to collaborate-bid with. We will also have this list available here on our website the week prior to the event.

Some items in the Live Auction will go for a larger amount and are intended to be split amongst friends. We encourage you to speak with your friends about your bidding strategy and select a primary bidder to raise their paddle for the group.
