Spring Fling Recap + A Few Final Notes
Mon, Mar 9 8:47am


What a night! Thank you to everyone who attended in person, bid online, donated items, purchased packages, and volunteered. Your generosity—and the incredible crew of volunteers who made the evening run smoothly—created an unforgettable event for Whittier. You were so enthusiastic, in fact, that our auction platform triggered an automatic fraud hold three separate times because transactions were happening so quickly. While we could have gone without that excitement, we're incredibly grateful you hung with us and danced the night away.

We’re still finalizing totals SO FAR, but the event raised an amazing amount for our Wildcats, and we're so happy with how it all came together.

In the meantime, a few quick updates:

Need to pick something up?
