We are pleased to announce this after­noon that we have final­ized a date for our 2012 Spring Fundrais­ing Gala, which is unques­tion­ably the best oppor­tu­ni­ty we offer to learn about what we do and sup­port our work. This year’s event will be tak­ing place Thurs­day, April 12th, 2012, at the Mer­cer Island Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­ter — the same place we’ve held it for the last two years.

In the weeks to come, we’ll be unveil­ing more infor­ma­tion about the event, includ­ing our speak­ing lineup.

Tick­ets are, how­ev­er, going on sale right now at a spe­cial ear­ly-bird rate; you can buy an indi­vid­ual or house­hold tick­et by click­ing one of the but­tons below. Prices will be going up when addi­tion­al details are made pub­lic, so if you’d like to save a bit of mon­ey while secur­ing your seat, now is the time to act.
