Auctions & Fundraisers
Can you imagine a more perfect location for an auction? An auction on Blake Island is a fabulous way to make money AND entertain your guests. The event plans itself. Boat ride over is perfect for a silent auction and drinks. Arrive on the island and enjoy appetizers and socializing. Be ushered into the longhouse where a wonderful meal awaits! (You can do the traditional salmon bake or have a custom menu designed.) Our beautiful stage is perfect for your emcee to show off items to the group. The return trip can be a “check out” for anyone who purchased live or silent auction items. This is the recipe for a perfect fundraising event.
Our professional staff is available to work with groups and planners to develop an exclusive event that cannot be experienced elsewhere. Let us help you with your auction or fundraiser!
