Good News Is Never Far
Here's to the good guys - and count among them the 1,100 people who showed up for the annual Washington Women In Need spring luncheon in Bellevue last Wednesday.
By the time they were done, they'd raised $570,000 for the organization, which provides funds for education, medical insurance and health services for low-income women trying to get back on their feet. That's a record both in terms of attendance and fundraising for WWIN.
The Bellevue luncheon, plus a similar event in Seattle, raised a total of $820,000 for the nonprofit this year.
Kirkland's Julia Pritt, founder of WWIN, pays 100 percent of the organization's operating costs so all money raised goes directly to services.
