MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck High School has 19 athletic teams, all of which are supported by the school’s booster club.

One way the club meets the financial needs of purchasing team equipment, paying meet and tournament fees, offering student athletic aid, providing scholarships and funding sports camps is through funds raised at the annual Gala Auction and Dinner.

The 2013 Gala will be Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Lynnwood Convention Center.

The event will include live and silent auctions, dinner, a no-host bar, a raffle — where a $10 ticket will win somebody a dream vacation to Hawaii — and other special surprises. One special and timely auction item is a football signed by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Businesses who would like to contribute auction items can contact Kathi Rabel at 425-308-8241.
