Save the Date: NPI’s next Spring Fundraising Gala will be held on Friday, April 26th, 2019

As long­time sup­port­ers know, each year, in the mid­dle of spring, we hold a major event to thank our sup­port­ers and raise mon­ey to sup­port our work. It takes the com­bined strength of our board, staff, and con­trib­u­tors to orga­nize, but it’s always been an extreme­ly suc­cess­ful event, and we’re con­fi­dent it will con­tin­ue to be.

Next year’s gala will be the eleventh gala we’ve held.

Here are the details for your calendar:

The gala will be return­ing to the Ren­ton Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­ter in 2019.

Con­ve­nient­ly locat­ed right off of Inter­state 405 (Exit #4), the Ren­ton Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­ter offers a spa­cious, pub­licly owned ban­quet­ing room with doors that open to a patio over­look­ing the Cedar Riv­er. It’s an ide­al venue for our event.

The recep­tion will be at 5:30 PM and the main pro­gram will be at 7 PM.

Ear­ly-bird tick­ets for the gala will go on sale start­ing Jan­u­ary 7th and speak­ers will be announced begin­ning a few weeks after that, along with fur­ther details.

For now, we invite you to save the date on your cal­en­dar and plan to join us for our eleventh gala. We have many excit­ing sur­pris­es we’re work­ing on and look for­ward to shar­ing a won­der­ful evening with you next spring.
