Women in Travel THRIVE
Silent Auction
February 2-13, 2026
We are hosting a virtual Silent Auction to raise funds in support of our programs that empower, connect, and uplift women in the travel and hospitality industries.
Our goal is to raise $2,000 which will help fund professional development opportunities, mentorship programs, and community events in 2026. To reach this goal, we aim to secure at least $2,500 in donated auction items to account for platform and processing costs.
This event is not only a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of community, generosity, and shared passion for helping Women in Travel THRIVE.
We are asking every member, supporter, and ally to help us gather 1-2 donated items by reaching out to your networks, partners, suppliers, hotels, restaurants,
tour operators, and community. You can donate to THRIVE directly or purchase from our curated wish list listed below.
