Tickets to NPI’s 2016 Spring Fundraising Gala (Friday, April 1st) are now on sale!

As of this Fri­day, Jan­u­ary 22nd, we will be three weeks into 2016, and just ten weeks away from our eighth Spring Fundrais­ing Gala, sched­uled to take place on Fri­day, April 1st, 2016 (April Fools’ Day). With the big night rapid­ly draw­ing near, we’re pleased to announce that ear­ly-bird tick­et sales for this year’s gala have now begun. Pur­chase now to save 17%-25% off the reg­u­lar price!

There are three tick­et rates:

• Indi­vid­ual ($75, tem­porar­i­ly dis­count­ed to $60; admits one person.)
• House­hold ($120, tem­porar­i­ly dis­count­ed to $100; admits a family.)
• Liv­ing Light­ly ($25, tem­porar­i­ly dis­count­ed to $20; this rate is for stu­dents and activists on lim­it­ed incomes.)

A house­hold tick­et admits all the mem­bers of an imme­di­ate fam­i­ly and is a good val­ue if you plan to attend with your spouse or chil­dren. (The gala is a fam­i­ly-friend­ly event, and young peo­ple of all ages are welcome!).

Our gala is the biggest event that we put on every year, and it is by far the best oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet the NPI team in per­son and learn about what we do.

Loy­al sup­port­ers know we go to great lengths to make this event fes­tive and infor­ma­tive. Our goal is for all of our guests to be able to spend a mem­o­rable evening with fam­i­ly, friends, and fel­low activists, and sup­port NPI’s vital work (includ­ing pub­li­ca­tions like the Cas­ca­dia Advo­cate!) at the same time.

In recent years, we’ve been hon­ored to have lead­ers like Attor­ney Gen­er­al Bob Fer­gu­son, U.S. Sen­a­tor Maria Cantwell, Sound Tran­sit CEO Joni Earl, U.S. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives Derek Kilmer, Suzan Del­Bene, and Den­ny Heck, State Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Chris Reyk­dal, and for­mer U.S. Deputy Sec­re­tary for Hous­ing and Urban Devel­op­ment Ron Sims as part of our speak­ing program.

We will be announc­ing our 2016 speak­ers soon. Until then, you can buy a tick­et at our spe­cial ear­ly-bird rates.

Here’s what else you can expect at our 2016 Spring Fundrais­ing Gala:

• A full din­ner buf­fet with veg­e­tar­i­an and veg­an choices
• Beer and wine selec­tions from our cash bar
• Oppor­tu­ni­ties to min­gle with fel­low activists and elect­ed leaders
• A chance to win a scrump­tious dessert for your table at our sec­ond annu­al Dessert Dash, orga­nized by our Host Committee
• A fam­i­ly-friend­ly atmosphere

If you’d like to RSVP for the gala on Face­book, you can do so here.

Stu­dents who want to vol­un­teer to help put on the event can get in the door free. If you’re inter­est­ed in vol­un­teer­ing, please get in touch with us.

We hope you’ll help us make our biggest event of the year a suc­cess by buy­ing your tick­et and com­mit­ting to attend. See you on April 1st!
