GiveBIG to LWSFThe Seattle Foundation's GiveBIG will be held on Wednesday, 5/2. This is a one-day, online charitable giving event to inspire people to give generously to nonprofit organizations. LWSF is one of the nonprofits who will receive a pro-rated portion of the matching funds (or "stretch") pool. The amount of the "stretch" depends on the size of the stretch pool and how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day. For example, if a nonprofit organization receives 3 percent of the total donations during GiveBIG, then it will receive 3 percent of the stretch pool. For more information go to http://www.seattlefoundation.org/GivingCenter/GiveBIG/Pages/Default.aspx. Please consider marking your calendars on Wednesday, 5/2 and give to the Lake Washington Schools Foundation.

The foundation's major fundraiser is a luncheon which will be held on Wednesday, 5/23 from 11:30am to 12:45pm at the newly renovated Lake Washington High School.
