Good evening!
On behalf of the Rebuilding Together Seattle Board of Directors and staff,
we would like to welcome you to the 7th Annual Beer & Wine Tasting
fundraiser. We’re delighted to have you join us tonight!
Since 1989, Rebuilding Together Seattle has helped over 1650 families
and nonprofit facilities in need. This success would not have been
possible without the support of community sponsors, dedicated
volunteers, and generous donors like you. Thank you for believing in our
mission!
Rebuilding Together Seattle would like to thank our Presenting Sponsor,
the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties. We
also thank Infiniti of Bellevue, HomeStreet Bank, and our participating
wineries and breweries for making our event possible! Lastly, we wish to
extend our sincere appreciation for the many businesses and individuals
who contributed to our silent and live auctions.
Again, thank you for joining us tonight. Your support will mean more
families can live safely and healthily in the homes they love.
Together we can make a difference!
Sincerely,
Jon Agnone
Board President
Caleb Marshall
Interim Executive Director
