Donate an auction item
Vacation homes, hard-to-get tickets, and one-of-a-kind experiences. Every item, large or small, goes on the block. Bid boldly.

Auction Items: Every Gift Goes on the Block
From weekend getaways and vacation homes to concert tickets, sports experiences, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures — auction items are the big, bold gifts guests bid on throughout the night. Whether it's a week at a lake house or courtside seats, every item you donate adds excitement to the block and helps our boys reach new heights.

Donate a basket
What's an Auction Basket? Your Chance to Spark Something Special.
Think "Fireside S'mores," "Cabin Cocoa Night," or "Ski Lodge Getaway" — auction baskets are themed collections of donated goodies that guests bid on and take home as the gala glows around them. The more creative the theme, the brighter the bidding gets. And every dollar raised helps our boys make their own climb to the summit.
Here's how to join the ascent — it's a two-step process:
- Claim your theme or create your own — Head to our Sign Up Genius page and pick the basket theme that lights you up.
- Bring it to life — Shop for items that fit your theme. Need inspiration? Check out our Amazon Gift List grouped by theme — or blaze your own trail.
Thank you for helping build something that shines on auction night — and helps our boys reach the summit, one basket at a time.

Mystery on the Mountain: A Wine Pull with a Twist
Ever tried a wine pull? Guests draw a mystery bottle from our glowing collection — it might be a hidden gem or a happy surprise, but either way, every pull lights up the night and supports our boys' climb to the summit.
Share your favorite vintage. Each donated bottle should be valued at $25 or more, with a label clearly showing your full name.
Two easy ways to donate:
- Deliver a bottle — Coordinate with our wine chairs at winepull@gonzagagala.org, or hand-carry your bottle to any GMC-sponsored meeting or social event.
- Order online, we'll handle the rest — Can't make it in person? Browse our Gala Wine Pull wish list and add "Deliver to Gonzaga Gala" in the notes at checkout. You order it, we'll pick it up.
Thank you for adding to the mystery — and for helping our boys reach new heights.

Underwriting the Eye St. Gallery, Alongside Eagles' Wings
Eagles' Wings is an organization for parents of Gonzaga alumni, sponsoring activities that foster spiritual, intellectual, and social enrichment. It's a chance to continue friendships, relive memories, and support the long tradition of excellence in Jesuit education — staying connected to the Gonzaga community long after your sons have graduated.
This year, Eagles' Wings is leading the effort to underwrite the Eye St. Gallery, helping make the gala a resounding success. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal of $1,000, and all contributions are tax-deductible. Your support makes a meaningful, lasting impact on campus.
Thank you for standing alongside Eagles' Wings and helping us reach the summit, together.

Parties with a Purpose: Host Your Own Piece of the Climb
Each winter, Gonzaga parents host themed parties across the community, with every dollar raised going straight to Gonzaga. Tickets are sold as Silent Auction items once bidding opens.
How it works: Hosting is easy, solo or with a group. Contact our chairs, Lorin Allen or Christine Schaubach, to lock in your theme and date — then plan away.
- Hosts fund all aspects of their party.
- Ticket numbers are limited by the host.
- Tickets go live once the Silent Auction opens.
Need a theme? Past favorites include Kentucky Derby, '80s Night, Taco Night, Pickleball Social, and College Reunion — or dream up your own.
Creativity welcome. Great way to meet fellow parents!

Gear for Giving: Limited-Time Gonzaga Merch
The Gonzaga Mothers Club Gala Merchandise Team offers limited-time, Gonzaga-spirited pieces for a community that loves to show its colors: scarves, earrings, bracelets, ornaments, tees, and more. These aren't gala-specific items. They're seasonal drops made for Gonzaga families to wear, gift, and collect.
Shop in person at home football games, Mothers Club meetings, and the Gala itself. Every purchase helps fund the climb to the summit, one item at a time.
Designs rotate throughout the year, so once a piece is gone, it's gone! New drops, early access, and pop-up peeks all land on our Stories page first.
