ST. PETERSBURG -- The Eckerd College Athletics Department is excited to host the 2026 annual fundraising event, "An Evening with the Tritons" Dinner Auction, on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 6 p.m.
This year's event theme is Sneaker Soiree. Come in cocktail attire and your favorite sneakers.
Dinner will be catered by several St. Petersburg area restaurants and served in the McArthur Center. In addition to an outstanding dinner, a silent and live auction will take place, featuring many valuable prizes and gifts. All proceeds benefit our student-athletes through increased athletic scholarships and improved operations.
This will be our 17th year to host this gala, and we need your help to continue its success. We are asking thoughtful members of our Tampa Bay community to support the only national private liberal arts college in Florida.
Eckerd College is a nonprofit organization, and this auction is one of our primary fundraising activities.
You may support our program by: (1) donating merchandise for the auction, (2) sponsoring a table and/or (3) donating a gift of cash or securities. All corporate gift will be recognized in the banquet program, through announcements during the event an on banners strategically placed throughout the gymnasium. Other advertising options are available, depending upon the value of the donation.
