The WILD Bug Ball!
You all give so much—to your kids, to our community, to making outdoor experiences possible. This invitation is simply our way of saying thank you and offering you a night to enjoy yourselves.
We’d love to see you at a grown-ups-only evening of food, music, and dancing, celebrating the Vashon Wilderness Program with live music by local Vashon band Croaker and delicious catering by Lovely Night Catering. Think of it as a rare date night / friends’ night / fun night out!
🎟️ Tickets are required to cover the cost of things like the catered dinner and the venue. Your ticket helps make the night (and our programs) possible. There will be other opportunities to give during a brief open ask or by purchasing gifts for yourself or loved ones on our amazing online auction March 2nd-31st.
✨ No pressure
✨ No long speeches
✨ Just good vibes, great people, and a reason to dress up for fun (bug attire encouraged!)
Your presence matters. When parents and the community show up, it strengthens the web of support around our youth programs—sometimes that looks like attending, sometimes like volunteering down the road, and sometimes like inviting friends, neighbors, or coworkers who love a good party and care about kids and the outdoors.
If you feel inspired, we encourage you to:
Come with your partner or a friend
Invite a couple from outside the VWP circle
Share the event with your wider community
These concentric rings of support help programs like ours thrive—one joyful night at a time.
We hope you’ll join us, relax, and celebrate the community that makes VWP special.
Thank you to our event sponsors!
