SHELTON, WA – Mason Health Foundation is celebrating 35 years and inviting community members to step through the looking glass and experience an unforgettable night of magic, generosity, and holiday celebration! Join the Foundation at the Enchanted Evening in Wonderland Dinner Auction on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Little Creek Casino Resort’s Sa-Heh-Wa-Mish Room. This premier annual fundraiser is made possible with the support of Gold Level Sponsor Columbia Bank, Silver Level Sponsor Heritage Bank and Bronze Level Sponsor Our Community Credit Union. The dinner auction will bring together the community for an evening dedicated to advancing exceptional health care in Mason County while raising funds for critical medical equipment at Mason Health.

“This event is always a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the generosity of our community while making a meaningful impact on local health care,” said Vickie Nuñez, chair of the Foundation’s fundraising committee and a Supporter Level sponsor for the event. “Every dollar raised stays local and helps ensure Mason Health can continue providing high-quality care close to home.”

Guests will be immersed in a whimsical Wonderland-themed experience featuring a chef-prepared dinner, photo booth, optional numerology readings, meet-and-greet opportunities with Alice and her Wonderland friends, silent and live auctions, a Golden Ticket drawing, a 50/50 raffle, and additional fundraising activities throughout the evening. Our emcee for the night is Jeff Slakey from KMAS Radio, working in tandem with auctioneer Brad Miller from Totten Inlet Wealth Strategies.

“One thing I’ve noticed over the years in Mason County is that people step up and help each other; it’s a true community. Mason Health plays a huge role in people’s lives, and events like Enchanted Evening show that spirit,” Slakey said. “It’s a fun event in a great atmosphere and knowing that all the bids, raffles and donations go to help local families is why I keep coming back to emcee. I’m excited this year to work with Brad Miller and see how much we can help raise for the people who need it most.”

This year’s Fund-An-Item campaign will focus on raising $140,000 to purchase four new Philips Avalon FM series fetal and maternal monitors for Mason Health’s award-winning Birth Center and additional programs and services for Mason Health. The advanced monitors offer innovative technology designed to enhance patient safety and improve outcomes for expectant mothers and babies. They are the first and only monitors to offer automated coincidence detection with Smart Pulse technology and are the only system capable of monitoring triplets on a single monitor using the same ultrasound frequency. The equipment will help providers identify potential complications earlier and detect signs of fetal distress during labor and delivery.

Enchanted Evening in Wonderland runs from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on Nov. 14. Early ticket pricing is available through Oct. 14, 2026, with individual tickets priced at $225 and tables of eight available for $1,800. After Oct. 14, ticket prices rise to $250 per person and $2,000 per table.
