  • Event Details

    Let’s celebrate a wonderful year at Walker and support the WSA Auction with an evening of music, dinner and fun! All proceeds benefit The Walker School and tickets include: 
    • Dinner
    • Open Bar
    • Silent auction
    • Music and dancing
    • Entertainment
    Attire:
    Cocktail attire with an emphasis on sequins and sneakers.
    This year’s theme is an opportunity to enjoy a night out, but no parent needs more decisions or pressure – so you can lean more “sneakers” or go more “sequins” and fit right in! The only rule? Please no distressed or ripped denim, per venue requirements. Need more guidance?

    This event is for adults only. No children permitted.
