29th Annual Convention · July 23 – 25, 2026

The auction at our annual convention is more than a table full of prizes. It’s one of the most fun highlights of the weekend, a joyful, inclusive, and spirited time that draws the participation of kids and our entire community. It also fuels the vision of Friends by helping to fund our vital programming for young people who stutter and everyone who supports them. Anyone can contribute by donating an item, whether you’re able to attend the convention or not!

Do you have a beloved item you’d like to share with your Friends?

To make the auction a success, we need your help! We are seeking auction items with a minimum of $75 market value, that are unused, and belong to the following categories:

• Unique toys (e.g., Lego sets)
• Sports/theater tickets
• Electronics
• Unique experiences (e.g., cooking lessons, workout classes, dining experiences)
• Photography sessions
• Memorabilia (e.g., Jerseys, albums, books)
• Friends themed items
• Handmade/handcrafted items

If you are able to make a donation, please email us at auction@friendswhostutter.org with what you intend to donate.

If you are unable to attend the convention but would still like to donate to the auction, we appreciate your support and invite you to visit our donate page.
