✨ Let the Bidding Begin! ✨
Register now for our silent & live auction and get ready for an evening of treasures, surprises, and a touch of magic! 🌿✨
Join us on April 26, 2025, from 6:30–10:00 PM at the historic National Union Building in Washington, D.C., for an evening where fairytales come to life. At Waldorf, these timeless tales are more than just stories—they ignite imagination, instill courage, and remind us that kindness and community can change the world.
Like the protagonists in these cherished narratives, every child deserves the chance to embark on their own great journey. Your generosity ensures that financial aid keeps the magic alive for more than 40% of our families at WWS—because every child deserves the tools to create their own happily ever after.
Give today, and be part of the magic every step of the way. ✨
✨ Once Upon a Time… at the Gala ✨
As twilight settles and the veil between the ordinary and the enchanted lifts, step into an evening where magic and merriment await. Begin your journey with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, accompanied by music that whispers of the Vale of the Fairies—melodies that stir the soul and set the stage for an unforgettable night. As you sip and savor, wander through our silent auction, where treasures abound, each item imbued with the promise of wonder and possibility. Be sure to anticipate our exciting giveaways, each with a touch of enchantment waiting to be discovered.
As the night unfolds, we gather for a seated dinner where voices from our school will share the heart of our story. Special entertainment will dazzle and delight before we invite you to partake in a spirited live auction and an opportunity to raise the paddle—a moment where generosity and community weave together to create true magic. And of course, no fairy tale would be complete without a sumptuous dessert selection, as sweet and satisfying as the stories we hold dear.
With hearts full and spirits high, we will unveil our prize winners before the night turns to revelry. The dance floor beckons, calling you to celebrate with friends, old and new. But be forewarned—this is a night of surprises, and the final page of our story has yet to be written… ✨
For over 50 years, Washington Waldorf School has been a place where education meets imagination, where academic excellence is woven with creativity, compassion, and a deep respect for childhood. Nestled just outside Washington, D.C., our school is home to a vibrant, diverse community of students from Preschool through 12th grade, each encouraged to think critically, feel compassionately, and act purposefully in the world. With more than 40% of our families receiving financial aid, we are committed to ensuring that a Waldorf education remains accessible, inclusive, and transformative.
Each year, our Gala raises over $100,000, helping to sustain that commitment—because we believe that every child, no matter their circumstances, deserves the chance to dream big, to grow, and to step boldly into their future. With your support, we continue to make that possible, keeping the magic of learning alive for generations to come. Together, we can "Imagine Every Step of the Way." ✨
