Each Spring, Wyoming Valley Children’s Association (WVCA) hosts an Annual Gala, a fundraising event that raises tens of thousands of dollars for local children in need. Join us for this year’s reimagined event, which will feature an in-person cocktail party and our popular Online Silent Auction, in order to ensure guest safety and adherence to proper COVID-19 precautions. Mark your calendars for WVCA’s Blue and Gold Cocktail Party on March 18, 2022, at The Woodlands in Wilkes-Barre.

WVCA has been providing early childhood education and therapeutic services to children in the Wyoming Valley for over 98 years. Undeniably, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the past two years have been challenging for our students, families, and staff. Coupled with the fact that 65% of the families we serve are living at or below the federal poverty level, our school needs the philanthropic assistance of our community, now more than ever.

The cocktail party will feature an open bar, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and will present longtime WVCA supporters, The Brotherhood of Chefs, with The Making A Difference Award. In addition, our widely popular Online Silent Auction will remain in a virtual format through an interactive website. The auction will run from Wednesday, March 16, 2022, through Friday, March 18, 2022, and conclude the evening of our cocktail party.
