Event Inspiration
Whether it is the annual office holiday party, your bar mitzvah, a lemonade stand or your family reunion, you can easily add an element of community support to any celebration in your life! Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery throws a giant company picnic at the end of each summer. The highlight of the event is a wine bottle ring toss, where staff line up for hours to participate. Through this simple carnival game, they raise awareness and funds for kids in foster care.
Are you a culinary crafter? Jill and Micaela, a mother-daughter team who love to cook, decided to try their hands at raising a little dough to help kids in foster care. They asked their friends and family to submit their favorite recipes, which they compiled into an inspirational cookbook and sold to raise money for Treehouse. It was so much fun that they are working on a second edition!
Think outside the suit! For staff in the Seattle office of Marsh USA, casual Friday is more than a fashion statement – it’s an opportunity to change lives. Marsh employees who choose to wear jeans on Fridays pay five dollars into the Denim Days fund. Each month, a local charity is selected from employee suggestions to receive the fund. Treehouse was the lucky beneficiary of a denim dividend!
Help your little one learn the gift of giving! For his 8th birthday party, Jackson had all of his friends bring gifts for kids in foster care. Then, after all of the cake was eaten, Jackson and his parents delivered all of the gifts to Treehouse. Jackson was able to see where his gifts would go and learn about how much his birthday will mean to kids in foster care. What a day!

Alumni Advocating for Change at the Intersection of Education and Foster Care
Change for Youth Experiencing Foster Care
Advancing equity and racial justice is key to delivering on our mission. That work includes centering equity within the Treehouse organization, advancing equity in foster care and education systems, and engaging in equity work alongside society at large. One of our new initiatives is an Equity Campaign, which will position Treehouse as a convener of conversations around race, equity and foster care.
Our second event in the Equity Campaign is on October 6. This will be a live conversation – streamed online – with community leaders including Senator T’Wina Nobles, Sam Martin, Veronica Gallardo, and Erika Ramirez. The amazing Angela Poe Russell from KING 5 Evening will be moderating the conversation.
We believe that you are a pivotal part of this conversation, so we are hopeful you will be able to attend.
