2016 Givers Ball + VIP Auction,

About the event

ABOUT THE GIVERS BALL + VIP AUCTION

New for 2016, the Philanthropy Committee of the Columbia Tower Club will be featuring a dual event evening. Beginning at 6pm, we will feature a 2-hour dinner and VIP auction event for 80-100 individuals to gather, enjoy engaging conversation and meet VIPs from the Puget Sound’s business, political and not-for-profit communities.

Following this, we will launch into the Givers Ball, our annual masquerade party highlighting two Seattle area organizations, while providing an opportunity for members, supporters, friends and the community at large to enjoy a great time at the stunning Columbia Tower Club.

The auction and the Ball will focus on giving back to the community, appealing to a variety of audiences. The auction will focus on those higher net-worth individuals and families, while the Ball will provide an opportunity for everyone to give while enjoying delicious food created by Chef Tyler, specialty drinks sponsored by the Columbia Tower Club and local distributors, and live music throughout -- all in a location that can’t be beat.

The 2016 Givers Ball will be Saturday, November 5, 2016. Tickets pre-sales will begin mid-summer, and continue through space availability.

The proceeds of the event will be shared among Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center and Seattle Choruses. Note, all organizations are 501(c)(3) recognized.
