Join us for our 2026 Annual Dinner & Silent Auction!
An Evening Celebrating the Transformative Power of Local, National, and Global Community Service
Please join us for Opening the World's Annual Dinner & Silent Auction—an evening planned, presented, and hosted by Marin County youth and young adults.
For over a decade, Opening the World has held this event to provide our youth with life-changing exposure to new people, cultures, and experiences.
This year, we will honor and celebrate the transformative power of reciprocity and how, through serving our local, national, and global communities, we have helped ourselves.
Saturday, March 14th, 2026
6:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Canoles Hall
1505 Mission Avenue
San Rafael, CA 94901
We look forward to seeing you there!
What to Expect:
This event showcases Opening the World's three core pillars in action:
Build Community: Youth work together toward this year's Tanzania trip while connecting with supporters who make their transformative journeys possible.
Promote Growth: This event is planned and executed entirely by our transitional age youth, developing real-world leadership skills.
Facilitate Healing: Through travel and service, youth build resilience and discover new possibilities.
