At last Friday's annual Ignite the Future auction, Washington DECA received an incredible outpouring of support from community members across the country! From generous donors, alumni, volunteers, attendees, and corporations, we are deeply grateful to each and every person who helped us raise funds for our Youth Equity Scholarship (YES) Fund.

With donations provided by both small businesses and large organizations alike, vacation packages from schools and alumni, and baskets from schools across the state, this auction was only made possible with the generosity and kindness from hundreds of supporters!

From all of us at Washington DECA - thank you. Thank you, not only for your auction attendance, physical or in-kind donations, or volunteering of time, but for helping us open up the DECA experience to students across the state. 💙

Stay tuned in the next few weeks for more glimpses of Ignite the Future 2026!

Only three days left to help your members step into the world of professional sports!

WA DECA members are invited to the Seattle Sounders Pro Sports Day, featuring a career panel with industry professionals. Members can learn from the panel's personal experiences of breaking into their careers, as well as opportunities in sports. After the panel, students will watch the match!

Tickets can be purchased until game day.

Get ready for FLC registration to open this week! Registration information is in your advisor email or at wadeca.org/flc.
