Each adult reservation comes with a chance to become the "Queen for the Day" or one of three "Ladies-in-Waiting," and each child reservation comes with a chance of being crowned the "Princess."

In addition to being crowned, each member of the Royal Court wins an extravagant gift basket full of prizes, including gift cards and jewelry.

The pandemic has hit the YWCA program participants and their families especially hard. Due to the pandemic, the YWCA Elgin was not been able to hold any live fundraisers in 2021. Therefore, this auction is a crucial opportunity for you to support the YWCA Elgin so that we are able to continue providing vital programming to participants.
