The Spring Masquerade Auction is just weeks away! Show up in whatever lets you shine, whether that’s an old prom dress or living up to PNW chic, just don’t forget the mask! And if you do, we’ll have a mask-making station ready for you at the event.

All auction funds support Hazel Wolf programs that benefit students and staff daily, including outdoor learning & field trips, student tutoring support, classroom & program grants, Racial Equity Committee, family support programs, and community-building events
