Explore our biggest silent auction ever — you won’t believe the deals!

We’re a week away from our annual gala, and I wanted to make sure you know that tickets are selling fast. We’d love for you to join us to celebrate all the work we’ve accomplished together, so don’t forget to grab your ticket ASAP.

I’m also excited to unveil our silent auction. This is the most impressive line-up of packages we’ve ever had up for auction, and you won’t believe the deals.

You could win a 3-night stay for two at Gay Key West, a tropical sanctuary and crowning jewel internationally known as a top LGBTQ vacation spot celebrating openness and pride. You’ll be treated like a VIP with a stay at Alexander’s Guesthouse, an intimate hotel that specializes in welcoming LGBTQ people.

Or, if you want to stay closer to home, you could win a weekend trip to Pittsburgh to explore the local nightlife and stop by the famous Andy Warhol museum. For the Star Wars fans, don’t miss your chance to bid on an autographed movie poster from the cast of “Star Wars: A New Hope.”

We’re so thankful for all of the local artists and businesses who’ve donated other items this year. We’re offering gift baskets and travel experiences to your favorite spots across the Mountain State. So don’t wait — bid today. You can start bidding right now — and you don’t even have to attend our gala to participate! The auction will close at 8:30 p.m. the night of our gala, so be sure to check back.

But if you do decide to buy a ticket — and I do hope to see you there — make sure to remember to bring your face mask. We’ll be socially distancing, and we ask that you wear your mask whenever you’re not eating or drinking. We’ll have specialty Fairness WV branded disposable masks on hand for anyone who needs one.

This gala will be the biggest and best event we’ve ever thrown, and I can’t wait to see you there.
