Please join us as we celebrate and support students and educators in Onalaska schools at the Onalaska Education Foundation’s 1st ever BASH AT THE DASH on Saturday, January 31st, 2026 from 6:00-10:00 PM at the beautiful, new Onalaska DASH-Center at 515 Quincy Street.

The 1st Ever BASH AT THE DASH will be a fun-filled evening with delicious food from 11 local businesses including Burrachos, Coulee Golf Bowl, Crossroads Bar & Grill, Fazoli’s, Hyvee Catering, Ka Lia’s Kitchen, New Taste of India, Omega Bakery, Opus Bakehouse and Priya’s Spice Bazaar, beverages, live entertainment by Gertrude & Co. (Zoe Gibson and Tycho de Boer), casino games (blackjack and craps), raffles, door prizes, and an amazing silent auction.

The Onalaska Education Foundation (OEF) is a local non-profit, 501c(3) tax exempt (Tax ID#: 39-1934475) organization that is fully volunteer-run, so 100% of the funds raised through the 1st Ever BASH AT THE DASH event will directly benefit Onalaska students and educators.  This event is the OEF’s primary fundraiser for our Claude Deck Grants program for educators and our Acts of Kindness (AOK) and Seasons of Kindness (SOK) programs that support Onalaska students in need (see descriptions below).  

Tickets for the 1st Ever BASH AT THE DASH can be purchased HERE for just $35. Ticket sales will be limited to 300 people, so buy your tickets now!

The silent auction website opens HERE at noon on January 23rd, 2026 and closes at 9:30 PM on the 31st.  You do not need to attend the BASH AT THE DASH to participate in the silent auction, so please take a look!  

We hope you and your friends will join us!
