Get ready for the tenta-coolest event on the Kenai Peninsula! It’s our annual Spring Fling fundraiser!
On Saturday, May 31st, join us at "an Octopus’s Garden” at Alice's Champagne Palace with silent and live auctions, food, drinks, dancing, an octo-pie making contest, and so much more! We’re cephalopod-sitively sure you’ll have a good time!
Tickets: $100
Includes: Drink tickets, gourmet appetizers, desserts, games and prizes, the chance to bid on exclusive auction items, dancing, photo booths, and more!
All proceeds from ticket sales will directly support Coastal Studies’ vital programs, including camp scholarships, keeping our facilities maintained, and our annual CoastWalk beach cleanup. Your purchase not only gets you a night of fun, but also makes a real difference in our community and the lives of those we serve.

We’re not squidding around when we say this is our most important fundraiser of the year. You'll be supporting the next generation of stewards who will work to explore, connect with, and protect the lands and waters we call home. Don’t be a sucker—don your finest ocean-inspired attire and enjoy a night of fun and philanthropy with friends old and new!
Explore the online auction!
As part of our annual Spring Fling fundraiser, this online auction is FULL of excursions and packages that will let you explore Southcentral Alaska and beyond. From Alaska Railroad tickets, to Brooks Falls bear viewing trips, to guided kayaking, to dining and travel experiences, we've got something amazing for everybody. If you've got company coming this summer, this will be the best way to WOW them with a one-of-a-kind Alaskan experience!
All the proceeds from this online auction and the "Octopus's Garden" party will directly support the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies' programming efforts and scholarship fund to continue ensuring our programs are accessible and exceptional for Alaskan youth. Your support makes a big difference in the success of our fundraising event and--more importantly--is an investment in a sustainable future for Alaska's coastal environment.
Auction runs until May 31st at 10pm! Bid now and don’t squid around!
Now THIS is what we mean by ocean-inspired attire!
