Each year, staff, volunteers, and supporters come together to raise money in support of the kids we serve. Some events we host are countywide and raise funds to support the entire organization, while others are organized at the Club level and raise funds for an individual Club. Whether countywide or Club-specific, these events have a single focus—the kids.

Kids Breakfast 2010

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's record-breaking KidsBreakfast! There were nearly 1,250 guests at this year's KidsAuction, the most we've ever had in attendance. Together we raised $460,000 for the youth of King County! Kasey Keller said it best when he said, "This is our community. These are our kids.  Let's make it a better place for everybody."  We have the opportunity to inspire and enable all youth, especially those who need us most.  Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our Club kids.
