WAEF's annual events are an important part of our fundraising efforts as well as a way to celebrate the accomplishments of Wyomissing Area faculty, staff, students and community members.
We look forward with optimism to the return of ALL of our annual events during the 2021-2022 school year.
Please see below for information about recent WAEF events!
WAEF's 2020 and 2021 online auctions exceeded our expectations! Thank you to our sponsors, donors, and event planning volunteers for all you did to make this year's event a success. A special thanks to all of the bidders who participated in the online auction!
The"Toast" series of events - originally planned as the Blue & White Party and Fire & Ice Party - changed as a result of COVID restrictions and concerns. The COVID-19 crisis presented unique challenges in our fundraising efforts, but we are encouraged and inspired by the generosity of businesses and individuals in our community who fulfilled – and in some cases, exceeded - their commitment to support WAEF through sponsorship of and donations to our online auctions, even in such difficult times. Auction bidding was robust and surpassed our expectations!
With your support, we were able to net over $60,000 total, including $12,000 for the Fund-a-Need project, the sound system for the JSHS Auditorium, in 2020! In 2021, we raised $5,150 for the fund-a-need project, the Classroom Wishes Fund, and our net for the online auction event exceeded $47,000!
On behalf of the Board of Directors of WAEF as well as the hard-working planning committee, thank you so much for your generosity! Your support ensures our ability to continue to provide grants to enhance educational opportunities in the Wyomissing Area School District.
Each year as part of the Toast series of events, WAEF honors outstanding teachers and staff members.
This year, we were unable to recognize them in person, but we are grateful for all they do in the Wyomissing Area School District!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
In September 2019, thanks to the generosity of our hosts,
Alissa & Peter Carlino, almost 100 guests enjoyed catered food and drinks and live music while celebrating the launch of a children's book written & illustrated by WASD's own WREC Principal, Dr. Corbett Babb and art teacher, Mr. Mike Miller.
Guests received a signed copy of Melody's Gift, and all party proceeds benefited WAEF.
Thank you to Corbett, Mike, and our hosts for thinking of WAEF!
