Envision How We Can Turn the Tide with Our Silent Auction!
Welcome to The Alaska Center Education Fund’s online silent auction—we’re thrilled to have you join us! Our auction is now LIVE and open for bidding.
This isn’t your typical auction. While there are plenty of exciting items to bid on, this moment is about more than just what you can win, it’s about taking a moment to reflect on who we are and what we care about . Our theme, Turning the Tide, invites us to consider the future we want to shape together. It starts with recognizing where we are, what we value, and how we show up for our communities.
Below, you’ll find a few featured packages that capture that spirit, with a touch of humor and a whole lot of heart. Each one offers a way to connect, reflect, and be part of the change.
Adventure — We are Beauty!
Feel like an eagle flying through what we call home. Bid on a truly unique experience to take in Alaska’s breathtaking beauty from above with an Outbound Heli Adventures Knik Glacier Explorer excursion for two. Enjoy 45 minutes of flightseeing followed by a 45 minute landing on the exposed ice of the Knik Glacier where you’ll explore fascinating ice formations, moulins, and majestic blue pools (1.5 hours total time).
Jewelry — We are Golden!
Bid on a beautiful pair of handcrafted earrings from Little Fish Workshop. These elegant earrings feature shimmering labradorite stones and brass hoops, finished with 14k gold-filled ear wires. The perfect accessory for your next event—or maybe even another auction experience (hint hint!).
Art — We are Clean Water!
Envision thriving Alaska rivers and pristine waters through the lens of local artist Annie Brace. The Mountainous Art Print by Corso Graphics captures the spirit of Alaska’s wild landscapes, with delicate gold touches that bring this piece to life and highlight the beauty within the valley.
Sport — We are Clean Energy!
Dare to fly and breathe in Alaska’s fresh, clean air with Skydance Paragliding School. Bid on a Tandem Introductory Paragliding Lesson gift certificate and experience the thrill of soaring above the landscape. It’s a powerful reminder of the value of our clean air—and an unforgettable way to come down from a long mountain hike.
Events — We are a Movement!
Gather 10 of your favorite people for a Private VIP Shopping Event at The Clothing Consignment. Enjoy two hours of exclusive access, drinks, desserts, and special discounts—plus a $50 gift card for the host. Explore a local gem, create meaningful memories, and support sustainable, secondhand style.
Culinary — We are a Essential!
Alaska is essential and so is what we enjoy. Bid on a delicious Great Harvest Bread Co. basket filled with fresh bread and cookies, plus a “Loaf a Month” coupon good for six months. It’s paired with a three-month membership to the AK Wine Grotto Wine Club. Trust me—these are essential!
Services — We are Thriving!
We may not be able to save the world single-handedly, but we can start by taking care of ourselves each day to make change happen. That’s why you should bet on ten 1.5 hour sessions of head-to-toe myofascial bodywork, designed to meet your unique needs by The Working Body.
As we come together to reflect on what it means to Turn the Tide, we hope these packages remind you that our collective power lies in the choices we make – how we care for ourselves, for each other, and for the land we love. This silent auction is more than a fundraiser, it’s a celebration of the values that ground us and the bold future we’re building together.
