The Gorge Grape Escape
October 4, 2025 - 6:00 PM
Best Western Plus Hood River Inn (Gorge Room)
Join us for a night filled with joy & purpose - an evening dedicated to our community's teachers, kids, & schools.
This year’s Gorge Grape Escape is more than a gala, it’s your chance to step into an enchanted forest! Come dressed in your most magical attire: woodland creatures, fairies, forest royalty, or whatever your imagination dreams up. Whether you go all-out or add just a whimsical touch, costumes will bring the night to life. And if you need a finishing touch, our face-painting station will make sure your look is complete! Expect dinner, games, a live auction, the famous Dessert Dash, and more.
The Gorge Grape Escape is the WSVEF’s main fundraiser, and supplies approximately 97% of our annual revenues.
We are extremely grateful to the dedicated and involved people and businesses in our community who participate in this annual event.
Whether you come as an individual, become a sponsor of the event, donate goods or services, or provide the much needed volunteer services to pull this amazing evening together, this is truly a community event that shines a bright light on the commitment and importance we all place on our local schools.
Email us to volunteer or learn more about becoming a sponsor.
