The Night of Our Dreams
The community came together on February 7 for an evening of celebration, support, and fabulous sleepwear to make Galentine's Day 2026 our most successful event ever! We could not have imagined a greater outpouring of support for our mission, our speakers, or our community, and we are incredibly grateful to every person, business, and organization who helped make it such a huge success.
Galentine's Day 2026 raised a record-breaking $62,561!
Five Years of Growth
From an intimate gathering at Port Angeles Fine Arts Center to a massive party at one of the largest venues in the county, we've been honored and humbled to watch Galentine's Day grow year after year. The message of Women Supporting Women continues to resonate through our community as groups of powerful, generous women show up for each other and for the women and families in Clallam County who need them most.
Thank you for being with us on the journey!

Women United Takes the Cake
This year, our Women United Committee took charge of the dessert dash from beginning to end and—WOW—did they make it a success! Thanks to their cooperation and hard work, we were able to offer over 40 different delectable items donated by bakeries, professional bakers, and home bakers. Dessert items ranged from cakes and cookies to trifle and English toffee, and everything in between.
The 2026 Dessert Dash raised an astonishing $8,298!
We are so grateful for the generosity of everyone who donated a baked item or who bid on a baked item!

Silent Auction Breaks Record
Every year the silent auction gets bigger and better, and every year we think we've peaked... But this year we broke our previous record yet again! The 62 items barely fit on the six extra long tables we reserved for the purpose. They ranged from opulent spa and self care baskets; to professional services like massage and manicures, even a tattoo; bundles of games or kids' art supplies; top of the line skin care; an evening at Field Hall; gift certificates for charcuterie, local restaurants, and shopping; Airbnb and hotel stays; even 2 round trip tickets on the Coho.
Together we raised an incredible $8,072!
Thank You Donors!
