Live and Online Auctions

From getaways and private dinners to tickets for sporting and musical events—plus one-of-a-kind treasures—our auction lineup has something for everyone. We’re thrilled to bring back our live auction this year, with the inimitable Tony Maroulis returning as our esteemed auctioneer.

Celebrate with Friends

Light Up the Night is not just about supporting a great cause; it’s also a chance to gather together in a spectacular outdoor garden setting, share a lovely evening with good food and friends, and truly make a difference in the lives of families in our community.

Get ready for a great night to support a great cause!

(Festive attire for an al fresco evening. Street parking approved.)

FOA depends upon LUTN to raise one-third of our annual budget to ensure families avoid homelessness, hunger, domestic violence, and child abuse. Help us keep the door open by participating in Light Up the Night! 2026 by donating today!
