Join fellow alumni, parents and friends for an elegant evening on the waterfront at the William & Mary Alumni Association Gala & Auction. This signature event of the Weekend brings the community together for a memorable night of celebration and impact. 

Bid on a curated selection of one-of-a-kind experiences, exclusive packages and W&M-inspired offerings while enjoying dinner and conversation with fellow members of the William & Mary community. Throughout the evening, storytelling and special moments will highlight the power of our W&M network and the ways the Alumni Association strengthens connections across generations and around the world. 

Back by popular demand, our auctioneer for the evening will be Jack Edgar ’15, senior vice president of narrative & strategy for Storyline Strategies! This year, we are also excited to partner with Handbid Inc., co-founded by Kari Porter ’95 and Jeff Porter.

Proceeds from the auction support the William & Mary Alumni Association Fund, advancing programs, events and opportunities that keep the Tribe connected for life.

Price: Alumni & Guests: $300; Young Guarde & Guests: $250
