Please join Challenge Alaska in February 2024 for our annual gala and charity auction! As you already know, Challenge Alaska works to improve the lives of Alaskans and visitors with disabilities, their families and the whole community through adaptive sports, therapeutic recreation, and education. We’re looking forward to welcoming over 600 guests this year!

We invite you to take advantage of the prom night of your dreams in Anchorage. Guests will enjoy a beautiful evening with a glamorous dinner, a cash bar, and silent and live auctions!  Doors open at 5:30 pm. Dinner and the Live Auction will kick off at 7:00 pm. Dress for prom from your favorite era! We’re talking poofy sleeves, ruffles, poodle skirts- whatever tickles your fancy. So, grab your boutonnieres and corsages and…. will you be our date to the prom? This event is currently sold out. You can be added to the waitlist by contacting Mariel.

WHY WE DONATE

"My father used to be a participant at Challenge AK after he lost his leg in the 80's. This was very big for him because he loved to downhill ski and Challenge was there when he needed to learn how to ski on one leg. Because of this I am now volunteering with Challenge Alaska as a Ski instructor, and donating some of the Mead my business makes for the charity auction is the least I can do. "
- Riley Pestegard, Two Seasons Meadery

"We are donating because the team here at Barnacle Foods recognizes the power of community. We believe in Challenge Alaska's mission to improve the lives of people living with disabilities through recreational opportunities and education."
-Barnacle Foods

"Challenge Alaska is an organization filled with caring people who provide access to sports and recreation for individuals with disabilities. Their genuine love and effort quite frankly change peoples' lives by giving them opportunities and creating amazing memories that likely wouldn't exist without their support."
- Inn at Whittier

"I worked at thread (situated right next door to Challenge Alaska), and Boys & Girls Club; two non-profits whose missions focus on providing children the stability and support vital to their well-being, health, and development. I broke my leg this summer, causing a shift in my career. I now create art pieces that capture the seasonal moments unique to this amazing state. When Casendra Bowen asked me if I would consider donating a piece of my work to support the amazing work of the Challenge Alaska team, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to combine my passion for art and the well-being of Alaska's youth."
- OSWC Art

"To help brighten the lives of people who need it the most."
- Jacobson's Greenhouse

"I love to support Challenge Alaska."
- Art Seriously

 

"Challenge Alaska is a wonderful organization helping so many people, I'm honored to donate to the charity auction."
- Kelly Curtis Designs

"We witness, first-hand, the joy of clients, families and volunteers who benefit from Challenge's programs at Alyeska and the Alaska Rock Gym." 
- Turnagain Tree Care
