The 23rd Annual Spaghetti Dinner & Auction to benefit Special Olympics Alaska Mat-Su Community is set for Saturday, March 1st, 2025, at Mat-Su Career & Technical High School in Wasilla. This family-friendly event is one of our biggest and most beloved fundraisers, bringing the community together for a night of great food, exciting auctions, and—most importantly—supporting our incredible athletes!

Your ticket includes a delicious spaghetti dinner complete with salad, a roll, and a beverage, but dinner is only available until 7:00 PM—so don’t be late!
The Famous $1 Auction – Bring Your Dollar Bills!
The highlight of the evening is our unique $1 Main Auction—a high-energy, fun-filled event where every single bid is just $1! That means anyone can participate, and the excitement of winning is within reach for everyone. Bring a stack of $1 bills and get ready to bid on fantastic prizes!
In addition to the $1 Auction, we will also have a Silent Auction and a Dessert Auction, featuring some of the most mouthwatering treats you can imagine!
Why This Event Matters:
For 23 years, this fundraiser has been essential in keeping our Special Olympics Alaska Mat-Su Community programs alive and thriving. With over 250 local athletes, we rely on the generosity of our community to provide year-round sports training, competitions, and life-changing opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Every dollar raised goes directly back into these programs!
