Midnight Masquerade Applause Auction
Saturday, May 16, 2026

Hello everyone,

My name is Christin Derig, and I’m honored to serve as the St. Charles Auction Chair for 2025! I’m a newly graduated Nurse Practitioner with 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse at Harborview Medical Center. I now work at Lisse Medical Aesthetics, where I’m excited to help expand our offerings into functional wellness and longevity medicine.

My husband, John, has proudly served as a police officer in Steilacoom for the past 23 years. We have two children—our daughter, Alison, a proud St. Charles alumna and freshman at Bellarmine, and our son, Parker, who is in 6th grade here at St. Charles (and who would very much prefer I not mention him in any of this auction
business... but here we are!).

I’m thrilled to announce our annual St. Charles Borromeo auction: Midnight Masquerade: An Evening of Moonlight, Masks, and Mischief. Inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this year’s event promises a night of whimsy and wonder. Expect the unexpected, bask in the beauty of the moonlight, and get ready for an unforgettable evening featuring an array of fun and exciting items and experiences, all of which are generously donated by our community and local businesses.

Highlights of the Evening:

  • Live & Silent Auctions – Bid on luxury vacations, exclusive experiences, and one-of-a-kind treasures
  • Entertainment – Enjoy music, magic, and the intoxicating allure of the enchanted garden
  • Themed Attire – Fairies, florals, woodland creatures, and masquerade elegance encouraged!
  • Delectable Cuisine – Feed your body and soul with enchanting hors d’oeuvres and handcrafted cocktails that may just make you fall in love.

I am so grateful to be part of this incredible community and the amazing team bringing this magical night to life. The auction is not only a time to celebrate and connect—it’s also a vital fundraiser that directly supports our school and students.

We invite you to join us for a night of celebration, generosity, and a little moonlit mischief. Your presence and support mean the world to us. Let’s come together,
dressed to the nines, and make this year’s auction truly unforgettable!

With gratitude and excitement,
Christin Derig
