Be Giving: A Gala for Foster Kids
Skookum Kids proudly presents our annual "Eat, Drink, & Be Giving Gala," an event aimed at raising funds and awareness for the foster kids in our community. This grand event is set to take place on Saturday, October 21, 2023, at the Four Points Sheraton. The evening promises to be filled with fun, food, and auctions, all for a noble cause. We invite you to join us, contribute, and take part in making a difference.
The Heart Behind Eat, Drink, & Be Giving
But why host a gala? What drives us to organize Eat, Drink, & Be Giving year after year? Well, it's all about the heart. It's about the heart of Skookum Kids, the heart of our community, and the hearts of the kids we serve. Here are the top five reasons we host this big gala:
To share impact stories of foster kids, bio families, and foster parents
To get you excited about what Skookum Kids is doing
To rally Bellingham for the common good
To see supporters and friends face to face
To raise money for kids and families
These reasons encapsulate our passion and commitment to the cause. They inspire us to do more, reach higher, and touch as many lives as we can.
What to Expect
At Eat, Drink, & Be Giving, we believe in creating an atmosphere that not only promotes the mission of seeing foster children thrive, but also ensures a memorable experience for our guests. The event will be a beautiful blend of hearty meals, refreshing drinks, and engaging activities. Whether you're a food lover, a social butterfly, or a philanthropist, this event has something in store for everyone.
