Each summer Denali Education Center hosts fundraisers in the Charles Sheldon Center and the surrounding community. Our main fundraising events – the “Fun”-Raising Auction and the Healy Tundra Challenge Golf Tournament – work to bring our community together to celebrate our differences and have a blast in the process. In addition to being fun, our fundraisers support the programs and mission of Denali Education Center.
30th Anniversary Auction!
For over 20 years the Auction has been a cornerstone event for the Denali community. Each summer our annual auction comes together to celebrate the friends, fun, and people that make up our community. All proceeds from the auction are used benefit our programs, special campus projects, and to further the mission of Denali Education Center.
Healy Tundra Challenge Golf Tournament
The 14th Annual Healy Tundra Challenge Golf Tournament will be held Saturday, July 13th! Tee time is at 10am and teams should arrive by 9:15am for registration. It will be a day of merriment, remembrance, and golfing. Proceeds from this tournament go to the Scott Menke Memorial Fund to support Denali Education Center youth programs.

W.I.L.D. about Denali Brunch at Creekside Cafe
Please join us for brunch at Creekside Cafe for the 4th annual fundraiser on Sunday, September 8th. All restaurant sales including donated server tips & employee labor will be donated to benefit our WILD About Denali program.
All donations raised from brunch go towards funding full scholarships for the WILD about Denali program. This year we have two groups spending a week camping at Wonder Lake and exploring the surrounding area. In addition to funding scholarships, Creekside Cafe also provides a lunch for the participants free of charge while they are visiting Denali. We cannot thank them enough for all they do to support this program!!
