Welcome to our 10th Annual Gala & Auction fundraiser to support the Tumwater TBird Dance Team, a non-profit organization. This year's circus themed event will be held at a new location to accommodate our growing attendance - The Lacey Community Center, on October 18, 2025. We are so excited for this year's event as we prepare to travel to nationals in Orlando in February 2026!
We will be returning to nationals in February as the 2024 kick champions with a goal to earn another national championship. With your support, we hope to raise enough money to fully cover the cost for every dancer to attend. In 2024, it cost $50,000 to send the team to nationals for six nights. The cost included registration, airfare, hotel, meals, and ground transportation. With the rising cost of everything, we are anticipating it will cost roughly $60,000 to send the team back in 2026. With your support, we can cover all the costs for nationals and successfully remain an equitable and inclusive team for all participants.
Tickets to this exciting event are $75 each and include appetizers, dinner, entertainment, silent auction, live auction, and raffles. If you'd like to be a VIP sponsor and purchase a full table (seats 10), we have the three options below, and you and your table guests will be invited to the VIP champagne reception that starts at 415pm. Doors open to the rest of the attendees starting at 5pm.
Please contact us if you have any questions and thank you for your generosity and support. Go TBirds!
