How do I purchase tickets?
Tickets will be available online soon. Make sure you are signed up for our gala newsletter to be alerted as soon as possible. Information for guests is not needed at the time of checkout. 2-4 business days after you purchase tickets, you will receive an email with a custom URL where you and your guests can fill out names, meal choices, accommodation requests, and more.

What is the dress code?
We are saying "casual cocktail." This could be something you may wear to a a nice dinner with colleagues or to a wedding. Above all, please dress in whatever makes you feel comfortable.

What time does the gala begin?
Doors open at 4:30 pm with a cocktail reception. During this time, you will check in, mingle, enjoy appetizers, and take part in the silent auction.

Where is the cocktail reception?
The cocktail reception will take place in the Madison Ballroom of the Renaissance Seattle Hotel. This is on the floor above the general hotel lobby. You can take either the escalator or the elevator.

When does the dinner and program begin?
Dinner and the program will begin sharply at 6:00 pm downstairs from the main hotel lobby in what is called the Courtyard Ballroom. We will have staff and volunteers ushering folks at this time.

Is there an official after-party?
You bet! After dinner wraps up around 8:00 PM, head back upstairs to the Madison Ballroom for dancing, tunes, and good vibes all around. There will be places to sit and mingle, but don't be surprised if someone beckons you to the dance floor!

If I win an auction item, where I can pick it up?
We invite all auction winners back upstairs to the Madison Ballroom's lobby (via escalator or elevator) to claim their items once the program ends.

How will parking work?
