2010 Luncheon
Together Today for Tomorrow
12th Annual Benefit Lunch for PEPS
Thursday, March 4, 2010
Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion (Click here for MAP)
Program and Lunch: 12 noon - 1 pm
The Benefit Lunch is PEPS’ largest annual fundraiser and our goal is to raise $53,000 or more at this year's event for the critical services we provide for families. Guests will be asked to make a donation during the event program. The average gift at the 2009 Lunch was $207. The best: gifts of $250 and more (up to a total of $15,000) will be matched by some generous Luncheon Challenge Donors!
Program hosted by Caspar Babypants, aka Chris Ballew, lead singer, Presidents of the United States of America.
Start Smart Social Hour: 11 - 12 noon
Take time for you with an hour of pre-luncheon fun including espresso bar, cake, book fair hosted by University Bookstore, wellness activities and catching up with your PEPS friends. This hour will feature 4 "Smart Sessions", 15-minute parental wellness-related presentations by the following experts:
- Cynthia Lair: Author, speaker, actress, UW/Bastyr faculty member, Webshow host/chef.
Presenting: Don’t Be Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs: Instead of grabbing for a box of sweetened kibble with empty promises, start your family’s day with something fresh and warm.
