Silent Auction

“Join us at The Britton Fund’s 2026 Silent and Live Auction in Yosemite!

Start thinking now about what you’ll donate—and what you’ll be bidding on!

The Auction is always packed with surprises, laughter, and more than a little friendly competition. I speak from experience!

See you there!” ~ Doug Anderson, The Britton Fund Board Chair

We can’t wait to come back “Full Circle” to the upcoming Silent and Live Auction Fundraising Event planned for WCISA’s 92nd Annual Conference and Trade Show.

It’s time to start thinking about what items YOU might donate to make this our most exciting auction ever! 100% of the proceeds from the auction will be directed to The Britton Fund to support future science-based tree research and educational opportunities for our WCISA members and tree-care professionals throughout the West.

Here are some ideas you might consider:

Tree workers’ equipment – ropes, saws, climbing gear.
Apparel – bundled together a sweatshirt, t-shirt, glove, hat. Urban forestry icons appreciated. Men and women sizes, please.
Artwork of all kinds – tree and nature themed are always popular.
Unique wooden or natural material objects – think handmade, recycled urban lumber, baskets, or similar.
Classic, signed or first-edition tree books.
Signed memorabilia.
Event tickets – sporting events, musical concerts, performing arts.
Jewelry for men and women.
Cooking class for a couple or group experience.
Family or child-themed items or experiences.
Fun outings – brewery tours, zoo trips, whitewater rafting, a hot air balloon ride, a spa day.
Vacation getaways and/or timeshare opportunities. Great for Live Auction!
Themed baskets.
Home brew or homemade wine.
Check on eBay and Etsy for unique, one-of-a-kind treasures that our attendees will love!
