Mane Bash 2026 - Woodbrook Elementary

Mane Bash

Saturday, January 31, 2026 | 6:00 pm-11:00 pm

Woodland Country Club | Tickets on sale Jan 6

Mane Bash is our WBE PTO annual parents’ night out to sway, sip, and support our school--one of the two main fundraisers that supports all PTO activities for the year. Your good time goes a long way in supporting field trips, class enrichment, teacher grants, and family activities! 

This year's theme: TROPICANA!

Bright colors, tropical prints, fruity drinks, and island rhythms — we're bringing paradise to you. Expect a night full of silent and live auctions; dinner & cash bar; nonstop dancing (maybe even a conga line?); plus 180+ parents, teachers, and community supporters bringing the aloha energy. So grab your shades, your boldest outfit, and your best aloha spirit — it's going to be a night to remember.

You can make a big difference by donating to our silent and live auctions! We welcome a wide range of items, including event tickets, gift certificates, local goods and services, vacation rentals, and unique experiences. Your donations help create exciting auction opportunities that raise essential funds to support our school community.

Do you frequently visit or know the owners of any local businesses?

4. Corporate Donations & Matching Gifts:   

Does your employer offer matching gift programs? Many companies match employee donations, effectively doubling the impact of your contribution. If you’re able to help, please reach out to your company’s HR or charitable giving department to inquire about matching gifts or donations.

Thank you for being part of this special community. Let’s turn up the tropics and show up for our Woodbrook pride! We look forward to celebrating with you on January 31, 2026.
