Explorer West Annual Auction
Come one, Come All!
You're Invited!
We are hosting a dinner and auction, complete with fun carnival spirit and games, and we want you to come! We will have silent and live auction items and feature a Fund-A-Need, which is our paddle raise to provide critical funding for updating and upgrading our indoor learning environments at Explorer West.
Silent Auction now open!
Visit https://EWCarnival.givesmart.com and click the yellow Register button below “Event Registration” on the left to get started.
Enjoying the Event
Our Step Right Up event will take place in person this year at the Hall of Fauntleroy in West Seattle on Friday, May 12!
Can't Attend In-Person?
If you prefer to support our Explorer West community from home or will be out of town on auction night, or perhaps you want to share the event with friends and family, there is a remote guest option so you can bid on Silent Auction items and donate from anywhere and for free! There will not be a Livestream this year to watch the event but you can follow along by signing up on GiveSmart to get updates on when the silent auction opens.
