Each fall, one of Southern Maryland’s most anticipated charity events brings the community together for a night of celebration and impact. Spring Dell Center’s Annual Auction is more than a fundraiser—it’s a mission. And this year, that mission is clear: to show the world that our mission IS possible when we come together in support of individuals with disabilities.
Mark your calendars for Friday, November 21, 2025, as we gather at the Greater Waldorf Jaycees for Spring Dell’s 32nd Annual Auction: Your Mission Awaits. Doors open at 5pm, and the evening promises thrilling auction items, delicious food and heartfelt stories from the very people your support empowers.
A Legacy of Empowerment in Southern Maryland
Spring Dell Center has served adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Charles County and surrounding communities since 1967. As a local nonprofit, Spring Dell works tirelessly to support individuals on their path to independence — whether that’s through job training and placement, residential living services, life skills coaching, or inclusive day programs.
The people Spring Dell serves are our neighbors, coworkers, volunteers and friends. They are capable, determined, and full of potential. And your support helps ensure they receive the opportunities, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive.
Why the Auction Matters
The annual auction plays a critical role in funding Spring Dell’s programs. Last year’s 31st Annual Auction, themed “Fly Spring Dell’s Friendly Skies,” welcomed hundreds of guests and exceeded its fundraising goal, thanks to the generosity of sponsors, donors and attendees.
This year, the bar is set even higher. With the theme “Your Mission Awaits,” Spring Dell is aiming to raise more money than ever before. Every dollar raised goes directly toward programming that uplifts individuals and creates inclusive communities across Southern Maryland.
