Christmas Auction December 2, 2026

The Christmas Auction will be held at the New Lenox VFW.

323 Old Hickory Rd. | New Lenox. 

Doors open at 5pm - Dinner served at 6pm

Our main focus of our members is to raise money to fund scholarships for young women in our community.

We offer scholarships to women who reside in New Lenox, Frankfort, Mokena, Manhattan or a graduate of Lincoln Way High School. The number and size of the annual scholarships are based upon the result of the LWABWO fund raising event. We try to provide as many scholarships as possible through our fund raising activities, with our Holiday Auction being the primary fund-raiser.

In December 2025, the organization held its annual Christmas Auction and raised more than $47,000. These funds will be used in 2026 to provide scholarships for senior girls at Lincoln-Way area high schools, as well as adults continuing their education.

Thank you again to our local businesses for your generous donations throughout the year and for helping keep this tradition going.

LWABWO is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Please find the scholarship application on the application page of this website. Each form contains requirements and deadlines.
