Brunching for a Cause: Sister Schools Benefit Raises Over $56,000!

On October 18th, friends and supporters of Sister Schools gathered at the beautiful Ray’s Boathouse for our annual Benefit Brunch - and what an incredible morning it was! Together, we raised over $56,000 to support our students in Seattle and Uganda. 

From the sparkling waterfront views to the laughter echoing through the room, the day was filled with generosity, joy, and community spirit. Guests enjoyed an excellent meal shared with great friends, all while celebrating the lasting impact of Sister Schools programs around the world. 

Highlights from the Day 

• Golden Raffle Winner: Congratulations to Camille Pook, who won the coveted Golden Raffle, a one-week trip to stunning Sint Maarten in the Caribbean! 

• Live Auction Excitement: The live auction brought plenty of friendly competition, with guests bidding enthusiastically on prizes like premium Mariners tickets, an exclusive Sushi by Scratch omakase experience, and other unforgettable offerings. 

• Balloon Pop Fun: Our Balloon Pop game kept the energy high with surprises from Uganda, sweet treats, and more delightful prizes inside each balloon.
