Please join Challenge Alaska in January for our annual gala and charity auction! As you know, Challenge Alaska is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with disabilities, their families, and the community through adaptive sports, therapeutic recreation, and education. We’re excited to welcome 680+ guests to our event!
Tumble down the rabbit hole with us for a night of whimsical wonder at Challenge Alaska’s annual gala! This year’s Alice in Wonderland theme promises an enchanting evening filled with curious surprises, vibrant characters, and a touch of mystery. Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner, a cash bar, and exhilarating silent and live auctions—all set against a magical, dreamlike backdrop. Doors open at 5:30pm for drinks and the silent auction, with dinner and the live auction beginning at 7:00pm.
We invite you to lean into the fun with your most imaginative Wonderland-inspired attire. Whether you arrive as a bold Queen of Hearts, a dapper Mad Hatter, or simply as yourself with a curious spirit, you’ll be part of a joyful evening supporting Challenge Alaska’s mission to empower individuals living with disabilities. Expect a night of playful elegance, bright colors, and delightful surprises—all in the name of inclusion, community, and adventure.
