Support Local Sports History at the Tribute to Champions Silent Auction
Sports fans, collectors, and community supporters will have a special opportunity to take home unique auction items while supporting a great local cause at the 2026 Tribute to Champions Banquet and Hall of Fame Inductions.
The event will be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at the McGavick Conference Center. As part of the evening, guests are invited to participate in a Silent Auction (click here to see silent auction items) featuring a wide variety of items, from sports memorabilia and local experiences to travel, golf, wine tasting, and handcrafted team quilts.
The Silent Auction opens at 5:00 PM and closes at 6:15 PM, so guests are encouraged to arrive early, browse the items, and be ready to bid. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Tacoma-Pierce County Sports Museum, helping preserve and celebrate the rich sports history of our community.
Featured auction items include a VIP “Day at the Races” package at Emerald Downs, a wine tasting experience at Mosquito Fleet Winery, a “Play Ball” package with the Seattle Mariners, golf packages from area courses, autographed Seattle Seahawks items, a Pete Rose autographed bat, a Phoenix condo stay during Spring Training season, and custom-designed Mariners and Seahawks quilts.
This is a great chance to find something special, honor local sports history, and support the museum’s ongoing work. Whether you are a lifelong fan, a collector, a golfer, a wine enthusiast, or simply someone who loves supporting community traditions, there will be something worth bidding on.
Unable to attend the auction in person? Absentee bids are welcome. To place an absentee bid, contact Colleen Barta at colleenhallbarta@gmail.com or 253-208-9702.
