Excitement is building for our much-loved annual Auction Gala and as this year’s Co-Chair, I along with our fantastic WES Krewe, are ready for BIG FUN in the BIG EASY! That’s right – it’s an old-fashioned celebration: Mardi Gras | Down in New Orleans, on Saturday, February 22.
Mardi Gras is a celebration for all! It is the love of life; the harmonic convergence of community, food, music, creativity, eccentricity, and the joy of living. Revelers will be transported to New Orleans as it comes alive with Mardi Gras magic!
Please join us for cocktails, a feast of southern flavors, Silent and Live Auctions, and a night of laughter and fun as we raise our glasses to unforgettable moments and friendships that glitter like strands of Mardi Gras beads.
True to the Mardi Gras spirit of celebration, community, and collaboration, please consider supporting WES by:
Volunteering any amount of time to help plan this special event – it’s a great way to meet new friends and have a lot of fun! Contact Ali Bratun with any questions.
Tickets will be available in January for this exciting night! Thank you for your support and remember that with every bead caught and every mask worn, Mardi Gras weaves a story of joy and camaraderie. Here’s to embracing the spirit of unity and dancing through life’s grand parade!

We are grateful to the Co-Chairs and Committee members for putting on an Auction Gala — Ain’t Misbehavin’ – A Night of 1920s Glitz and Glam — that truly was the bee’s knees in March 2024.
Guests enjoyed a divine evening of catered hors d’oeuvres and dinner, crafted cocktails and mocktails, and dancing to a high-energy band, alongside our fabulous Live and Silent Auctions.
