Blue Hawaii: CWB's 2010 Auction & Dinner Celebration

The Center for Wooden Boat's 2010 Auction and Dinner Celebration, "Blue Hawaii," will be held February 13th, 2010 at the Swedish Cultural Center. The evening's events will include live and silent auctions, Elvis impersonators, beverages, and a 5-course dinner by As You Like It Catering. Doors open and silent auction bidding begins at 5 p.m.

Now in its 34th year, CWB's Annual Auction & Dinner Celebration is our largest fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will benefit CWB's award-winning hands-on educational programs for kids of all ages. CWB is able to engage over 5,000 youth in on the water activities each year, and through the donations of generous supporters is able to provide most youth classes on a pay-what-you-can basis.
