Fresh off the heels of its most successful fundraising event ever, Snoqualmie’s Project Grace Guild got some new, wonderful news. The success of their Harvest Moon Soiree charity auction moved Project Grace to the 18th most successful Seattle Children’s Hospital Guilds for the 2011 fiscal year. Seattle Children’s has over 7,000 guild members, making it the largest volunteer fundraising organization of any hospital in America.
At their September 23rd Harvest Moon Soiree, Project Grace raised $84,000 for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s – topping the previous year’s fundraiser by 30%. 215 guests attended the event held at Issaquah’s Pickering Barn. Guild Members were astounded by the turnout and the results – even the weather was a perfect, sunny backdrop.
Project Grace was founded in 2007 by eight friends, all Snoqualmie Valley residents who wanted to give back to the hospital that had personally touched all their lives. The ladies are already busy planning their next big fundraising event slated for March 2013.
Congratulations Project Grace. Your passion amazes and inspires me. It sounds like I missed a fabulous evening!
