2021 Auction & Gala was a huge success!

The 2021 WPSD Auction & Gala held on October 15 at the Rivers Casino in downtown Pittsburgh was a huge success! Nearly 200 guests enjoyed live music, delicious food and drinks, and more than 130 items up for either silent or live auction.

WPSD was honored to have accomplished Deaf actress – Millie Simmonds – as the featured guest that night. Millie has starred in recent blockbuster movies such as Wonderstruck, A Quiet Place 1 and A Quiet Place 2. She was a fantastic addition to the event! We were thrilled to have her with us.

All of the proceeds raised through the Auction & Gala will be dedicated to the academic, athletic and extracurricular activities offered by WPSD to Deaf and Hard of Hearing children across the state. “Thank You” to every sponsor and to the guests who purchased tickets, bid on items throughout the night, and donated in some way. Your generosity and support ensured the success of this wonderful event!
