2025 Christmas Gala

Christmas Gala 2025

Step Into a Night of Sparkles and Support

The United Way of Lincoln County Christmas Gala is an event that is much loved and much anticipated year after year, and 2025 is no different!

UWLC's Christmas Gala not only raises funds for UWLC’s vision of bringing communities together to face their greatest challenges from helping families find stability and empowering young people to responding to crises and so much more, but it also celebrates the holiday season and the connection to our community and each other.

Characterized by its incredible food, lively atmosphere, and captivating community members, this event is only possible thanks to our sponsors and donors. Through them, attendees are able to enjoy music from a live DJ, engage in a silent auction, complete with absolutely amazing items, and, most importantly, learn about the impact UWLC makes within Lincoln County.

Donate to the Christmas Gala Auction!

The UWLC Annual Christmas Gala raises significant funds for our community through live and silent auction sales. The highest bids come from one-of-a-kind, bucket list, or experiential items and activities that offer bragging rights. Bidding wars ignite over items that can't be purchased in stores, such as handmade luxury goods, exclusive trips, private events, or sports tickets with suite access. The second highest bids come from items available in stores but typically considered splurges, like rare bourbon, jewelry, high-end grills, 4K TVs, and other electronics.
 
We cannot accept timeshares, shop-at-home events, or products and packaging that are used or damaged.
 
We will gladly pick up in-kind donations or arrange to obtain them from you by November 28. Our volunteers need the following week to prepare descriptions, create bid sheets, transport items to the venue, and set up auction tables; therefore, we will not be able to accept items after this date

Thank you to our Signature Sponsor
