We had another very successful Banquet & Auction this year! Over the course of the evening we raised over $13,000 to donate to Nickelsville and Columbia Court Reading Club! We would like give a big thank you to our amazing Spring Banquet Committee for organizing this event and to all of our club members who attended and represented SU Rotaract. And, of course, we are so thankful and grateful for our generous guests!

Our Cause:
The 2016 Spring Banquet will include two auctions, and all the proceeds will be donated to two causes both located right here in Seattle. Half of the proceeds will go towards Nicklesville (also known as Tent City), an inspiring local housing community created for homeless individuals and families. Nicklesville even has an animal shelter for abandoned pets! The other half will go towards Colombia Court Reading Club, an after school activity where children are provided with an educational environment in which to get homework help and improve their reading skills. The Reading Club is especially important to our club, both because we volunteer there every Tuesday, and because it was originally started by the Seattle International District Rotary Club, our own sponsors.
Last year, with help from generous donors, our 2015 Spring Banquet raised over $15,000 for the good people of Nicklesville and the children of Colombia Court. This year, we have a goal of $20,000.
