Cake Auction 2026
October 2 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Wheelhouse 19th Annual Cake Auction
Homemade cakes. Inspiring stories. One unforgettable evening supporting men rebuilding their lives from addiction. Join us Friday, October 2, 2026, for an evening of food, fellowship, friendly competition, and 35 incredible homemade cakes, all benefiting the life-changing work of The Wheelhouse.
Why We Do a Cake Auction
Addiction can damage families, careers, relationships, and hope—but recovery can rebuild what addiction tried to break.
The Wheelhouse provides men with a structured, spiritually integrated recovery environment where they can begin living sober, responsible, and productive lives. Men receive peer support, participate in a strong 12-Step recovery program, develop accountability, seek employment, restore relationships, and prepare for independent living.
The Cake Auction helps provide the resources necessary to keep this work moving forward. Every donated cake, sponsorship, bid, and bake-sale purchase helps The Wheelhouse offer men a place to begin again.
This is more than an auction. It is a community coming together to say that recovery is possible, lives are worth rebuilding, and no one has to face addiction alone.
