Anaheim Ducks’ *Dux in Tux* Returns for a 25th Year of Glamour and Giving

The Anaheim Ducks will host their 25th annual main event, Dux in Tux, on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at Honda Center. The sold-out evening promises fine dining, exclusive auctions, and appearances from players, coaches, and broadcasters—all to support local community programs. The event, organized by eventbrite, kicks off at 5 p.m. with a welcome reception, followed by dinner and programming at 6:30 p.m. Over 450 guests will gather for an evening of gourmet food, live entertainment, and bidding on one-of-a-kind auction items. Each of the 30 participating chefs will design a unique dining experience for 14 guests at their themed tables. Ducks players, coaches, and broadcasters will act as 'sous chefs,' teaming up with local restaurants to prepare the meals. Funds raised will benefit the Anaheim Ducks Foundation, which has donated more than $23.5 million since 2008. The foundation supports initiatives like Ducks S.C.O.R.E., a program reaching over 45,000 Southern California elementary students annually through in-class and PE activities. Another key program, Learn to Play, offers first-time hockey players a free four-week session and complimentary gear when they join an in-house league. Fans unable to attend can still participate by bidding on silent auction items. Starting Monday, January 5, they can text 'TUX' to 76278 to access the online auction. The Dux in Tux event continues a 25-year tradition of blending entertainment with philanthropy. Proceeds will expand access to youth sports, education, and inclusive hockey programs across Southern California. The foundation’s work has already impacted thousands of children through initiatives like S.C.O.R.E. and Learn to Play.
