We are excited to invite you to be a part of the 25th Annual Operation Pumpkin on Sunday, October 18, 2026 from 4:30 p.m.–7:00 p.m. at the Coronado Country Club at 1044 Broadmoor!

At the heart of Operation Pumpkin is a beloved tradition: El Paso’s prominent physicians and surgeons will showcase their creativity by carving pumpkins into spooktacular masterpieces. These one-of-a-kind creations will be auctioned live, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting our children and families.

This special evening is our biggest opportunity to make a difference. The funds raised will go directly toward providing essential clothing and footwear for over 80 children in our care for an entire year—ensuring they feel confident, cared for, and prepared for the seasons ahead.

We are currently seeking sponsors and accepting donations for our silent auction and raffle. Here are a few ways you can contribute:

• Sponsorship: Every contribution makes a difference and will go directly to supporting our mission.
• Experiences: Unique experiences such as event tickets, classes, or tours are highly valued by our attendees.
• Gift Certificates: Whether for dining, shopping, or services, gift certificates are always popular auction items.
• Products: Items like gift baskets, jewelry, art, etc. make fantastic additions to our event.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations are tax-deductible, and we will provide the appropriate documentation for your records. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
