PCWA Basket Auction

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Polk County Women Attorneys’ 24th Annual PCWA Basket Auction to benefit the Young Women’s Resource Center (YWRC)! The event was inspired by the theme Wicked: For Good. Celebrating the power of doing good, even when the path isn’t always easy.

Co-Chairs: Amy Howells and Jacque Judickas

Thursday, October 23, 2025
at the Des Moines Heritage Center
(120 E 5th Street, Des Moines, IA 50309)

Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

In addition to enjoying delicious appetizers and an engaging program, guests can also participate in a silent auction of one-of-a-kind products and services. Popular basket themes from previous years include coffee/wine lovers, cooking, girls’ night/spa, weekend getaways, sports, babies, pets, brides, bookworms, etc. The baskets are filled with high-­value items, including tickets, electronics, designer bags, season passes, jewelry, art, memorabilia and fine dining.

While many auction attendees are local female attorneys and judges, the auction is open to the public. Professionals in other fields also look forward to attending the auction each year, as it’s a great opportunity to share your business with a variety of new customers while supporting a good cause.
