The event of the year is back! Join us for the annual FCEF Gala & Auction event on Friday, May 20, 2022 at Washington Golf and Country Club. This year's theme is "Together Again" and, oh, how we are looking forward to seeing all of our school supporters in person this year.
We are putting together a great list of auction items for you to bid on so be sure to register so you can get a preview of the items. Our 2019 in-person event netted more than $100,000 for The Foundation. These funds support our Super Grant program, Advanced Teacher Training Grants and programs for ESOL, Special Ed and equity of access for our students.
Registration will open at the beginning of 2022. Remember, if you're unable to attend the event, consider donating a ticket for a teacher - we have many staff who would love to attend!

Event Details
Tickets - no paper tickets necessary for entry. Just check in with our friendly student volunteers as you enter the club - entertainment, food and drinks begin promptly at 6:30! The price of your tickets covers the cost of the event, so please consider vying for auction items or making a donation to FCEF during the evening.
Attire - With our "Together Again" theme, the range of dress is broad. Men, feel free to come dressed in anything from a collared shirt and tie to a tuxedo. For women, anything from cocktail dress to full length gown will work. Only rule … no jeans!
Venue & Parking - Washington Golf & Country Club is located at 3017 N. Glebe Road in Arlington. Complimentary valet parking is at the front door and the lot across the street (by the tennis courts) for your convenience. Or better yet … plan for Uber, Lyft or taxi! We want ALL to be safe on the roads!
Event Schedule - Bars open and music starts promptly at 6:30pm - don’t miss a minute! The party continues through "last call" at 10:30.
Drinks - Wine, beer and rail drinks will be available and are included in your price of admission. "Bubbles & Baubles” will be available for $15 for the first attendees, while supplies last. Please note the bars will be closed during the live auction (another reason to be there right at 6:30!)
Food - There will be a variety of hors d'oeuvres passed at the beginning of the evening and buffet near the ballroom before the Live Auction. There will not be a seated dinner at the "Together Again" gala. We have options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners.
Silent / Live Auction - Auction items may be bid on from your phone/tablet/computer at any time before or during the event and the week leading up to it. A complete listing will be online and on your phone as soon as you register your cell phone. Check your calendars for vacation dates and plan your winning bidding strategy for all of your "don't miss" items!
Mobile Bidding - all silent auction bidding will take place on your mobile phone! You’ll receive a text message to check in. You can enter bids from your phone, tablet or laptop starting the week leading up to the event. You can set eBay style bids, with starting and max bids. You’ll have even more time to enjoy the music, gaming and food while still supporting FCEF and FCCPS when you bid ahead of time.
Purchases - All purchases, including auction items and donations, will be paid for using your bidder number which is linked to your credit card.
Live Music & Casino Games - Meridian Jazz Band, convertibleJERK as well as loads of casino games for you to enjoy.
