2026 Time & Talent: Festive Free-for-All

Festive Free-for-All silent auction fundraiser. Dress for any holiday, bid on great items, and support a great cause. June 6!

Join us for an evening of giving, celebration, and spirited creativity at our 2026 Time & Talent Fundraiser: Festive Free-for-All. This year’s theme invites guests to come dressed in celebration of any holiday—classic, cultural, seasonal, or delightfully made up. From spooky to sparkly, cozy to colorful, every festivity is welcome.

Guests will enjoy a lively silent auction featuring curated items, experiences, and community contributions, all in support of our fundraising mission. Throughout the night, you’ll have the chance to browse auction tables, place bids, connect with fellow attendees, and enjoy a joyful, high-energy atmosphere.

Whether you channel winter holidays, summer festivals, or something entirely unique, the Festive Free-for-All theme is all about expression, fun, and generosity. Come ready to bid, celebrate, and make an impact—because every bid helps support scholarships for our military spouses and dependents.

Guests will register to a unique ticket group available to fill in when you purchase tickets, you can register your group (minimum of 5 per group) when tickets are purchased. Each participant just needs to enter the "name" of your group upon registration. Each group will choose a holiday subtheme within the overall Festive Free-for-All theme. To keep the process fair and engaging, subtheme selection order will be determined by participation: the groups with the highest percentage of registered OSCWI members who purchase tickets by the priority deadline will earn earlier picks.

Once participation is locked, groups will be ranked and given scheduled time windows to select their holiday subtheme (for example, Halloween, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, etc.). During their window, each group will submit their chosen holiday, which will then be reserved and unavailable to other groups. After all groups have selected, the full list of subthemes will be shared, giving everyone ample time to coordinate costumes and bring their chosen celebration to life.
