Past Events

Kindering's 4th Annual "Salute to Courage" luncheon, presented by Pediatric Associates,  on May 8th was a wonderful success.  Thank you to all of the guests, table captains, volunteers, and sponsors for making this extraordinary third annual event such a grand occasion.  Thanks to your support, the event has raised more than $163,000 to support our programs. 

A very special thank you goes out to our great luncheon chair, Barri Rind, and the rest of our great luncheon planning committee including Diane Demopulos, Marikay Cuthill, Kim Fisher, Rosie Van Coevorden and Heidi Fogg.  We also very much appreciate Greg Benn for sharing his family’s story with our guests.  Also, sincere thanks to Dennis Bounds, who served as our event Emcee.  

As we prepare for next year's luncheon, please feel free to forward your feedback, as we value your input.  To share your thoughts, please contact Jennifer Schumacher at (425) 653-4294 or contact her by email at jennifer.schumacher @kindering.org.


MASQUERADE!

The 15th Annual Kindering Auction Gala took place Saturday, November 8th, 2008, at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Seattle and was truly an unforgettable evening. The night kicked off with lively bidding on silent auction items during the cocktail hour followed by auction chairs Betty & Kemper Freeman, Jr. welcoming guests seated in the Grand Ballroom for dinner. The live auction started and the night shifted into high gear with Elisa Jaffe from KOMO 4 News as the host and our fabulous auctioneer- Jim Jungers.

Together, our guests, sponsors and volunteers raised over $500,000 for the Center.  The night was made memorable with our scholarship "raise the paddle" presentation by Board Member, Shawn Requa, which brought in $200,000; almost the entire room showed their support for children with special needs by raising their bid cards to make a cash donation to Kindering.
