Charity Auction
Brought to you by the FCBA Young Lawyers Committee and the FCBA Foundation, over the past 36 years, the Charity Auction has raised more than
$2.3 million dollars for DC-based charities.
The Young Lawyers Committee of the FCBA and the FCBA Foundation will host the 37th Annual Charity Auction on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at The Hamilton Live in downtown Washington, DC. Proceeds from the 2026 Charity Auction will benefit two amazing, local non-profit organizations – Everybody Wins DC and the FCBA Foundation.

Volunteer Opportunities
The Auction Committee is seeking volunteers for the 37th Annual Charity Auction! Each year, the success of the Charity Auction depends on the support of volunteers—both law students and practitioners. There are plenty of ways to get involved: Before the Auction by helping to solicit prize donations and collect auction items; and On the night of the event by assisting with check-in, setup, cleanup, and more. Volunteers are not expected to work the entire evening—you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the festivities and connect with fellow FCBA members at this signature event.
To sign up as a volunteer or ask any questions about getting involved, please reach out to Volunteer Coordinators Kim Alli, Andrew Ware, and Stacey Weber at FCBAAuctionVolunteer@gmail.com. In your message, please indicate your preferred level of involvement (i.e., before the Auction, at the Auction, or both).
Thanks to the Charity Auction Sponsors
