We hope you can join us for the 2019 Centrum Gala Dinner and Auction – our largest annual fundraiser. Our theme for 2019 is This Enchanted Forest, inspired by the madrones and maples, pines and poplars, and stands of Douglas fir at Fort Worden — beguiling all visitors since Centrum’s founding.

This Enchanted Forest
Saturday, October 19, 2019, 5pm
The Commons at Fort Worden

“Each forest has its own sound, its own rustling whispers and smells.
A voice speaks up when you enter its acres that can’t be mistaken
for one you’d hear anyplace else.” – Charles de Lint

Enjoy savory appetizers and a woodsy meal; take comfort in community; bid wildly and well for the experiences, objects, and trips that lure. Returning auctioneer, Laura Michalek, will lead the live auction and Fund-a-Dream paddle-raise, your chance to support the Centrum scholarship fund and help students of all ages come to Centrum for creative experiences that change lives.
