Come for the mission, stay for the fun! 🎶

Play It Forward isn't your typical fundraising event. We've taken the best parts of a traditional gala and mixed them with an unforgettable night of community, a lively Raise the Paddle, a fast-paced Dessert Dash, a one-of-a-kind raffle, and Vibe Bingo!

Whether you're a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, you'll enjoy great food, meaningful stories, and plenty of opportunities to laugh, connect, and invest in brighter futures for students in King, Pierce, and south Snohomish counties.

WHAT TO EXPECT

COMMUNITY - Gather with students, alumni, supporters, volunteers, staff, and community partners who believe in the power of education.

INSPIRING STORIES - Celebrate the resilience, determination, and achievements of NWEdA students and alumni.

JOY - Expect laughter, connection, and a healthy dose of unadulterated joy.

MEANINGFUL IMPACT - Help expand equitable access to education by supporting NWEdA's individualized coaching and guidance for young people as they build their own path to higher education and beyond.

Looking for another way to get involved?
