(No kidding, we did win an Alumni Association award for our creative auction!)This is our once-a-year "bump up the wardrobe a tad" to corporate casual, enjoy a nice evening at The Westin Hotel private dining room, hear stories about how Penn State influenced the television career of Jeff Lawson, BS Meteorology '80, and bid on items to raise money for our local student scholarship, The Donald and Rose Marie Anderson Memorial Scholarship. It's a great time for a great cause!SILENT AUCTIONThe Spring Fling also features a silent auction. It's the chapter's big fundraising event of the year for our student scholarship fund. Prepare to bid on an array of outstanding items- many of them Penn State related! Lisa Smith, BA Advertising '80, outdoes herself every year putting together record-setting auctions. She's already busy collecting items and experiences for the auction. If you have something to donate, contact her and she'll even come pick it up. Reach out to her at lisanovasmith@gmail.comWe have our first silent auction item! It's a quilt hand-made by longtime chapter member Eileen McCall, who married into Penn State and contributed the quilt before she and Don left to winter in Florida. Do you have a contribution for the silent auction? It doesn't have to be a Penn State item. Can be anything! Gift cards, experiences, household items, and of course, Penn State memorabilia. Let's shatter last year's record-setting amount raised for our chapter student scholarship!Tentative TImeline: 6:00 pm Cocktail Hour and Silent Auction Opens7:00 Dinner, Program and Speaker8:00 Silent Auction, Bar stays open8:30 Silent Auction Closes8:45 Silent Auction Checkout9:00 WrapUpREGISTRATION (ticket includes 3 course dinner and 1 drink ticket)Early Bird $50 (Save $10 through March 6 at midnight)General Admission $60 (March 6- March 13 at midnight)Registration closes Friday, March 13th - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/2026-annual-spring-fling-and-silent-auction-with-guest-jeff-lawson-80/100001982130324157 - **Event Categories**: spring-break, nonprofit, workshops, meetups, friday-the-13th, charities - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 55.2, max: 65.87, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Virginia Beach - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center - **lat**: 36.84166 - **long**: -76.13578629999999 - **full address**: The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center, 4535 Commerce Street, Virginia Beach, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 Annual Spring Fling and Silent Auction with guest Jeff Lawson, '80. - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/157e9c43f379617237eb1d09a9a557035001288ea841e673920e77ffb97fc20b-rimg-w1200-h675-dcfe4d61-gmir.jpg?v=1770146234 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 Annual Spring Fling and Silent Auction with guest Jeff Lawson, '80. being held? - **A:** 2026 Annual Spring Fling and Silent Auction with guest Jeff Lawson, '80. takes place on Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center, 4535 Commerce Street, Virginia Beach, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for 2026 Annual Spring Fling and Silent Auction with guest Jeff Lawson, '80.? - **A:** Ticket prices for 2026 Annual Spring Fling and Silent Auction with guest Jeff Lawson, '80. range from USD 55 to USD 66 depending on the ticket type.
