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!

Combating Racial Animus Against the AAPI Community: Solutions for Change
Hosted by Town Hall Seattle and Seattle University Institute of Public Service:
In the third installment of Seattle University’s “The Conversations,” we hear from former U.S. ambassador to China and former Washington Governor Gary Locke, CEO of Treehouse Lisa Chin, and interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz. Journalist Joni Balter and Dr. Larry Hubbell, longtime previous director of the Seattle University Institute of Public Service, moderate an honest discussion with Locke, Chin, and Diaz about the possible causes of this disturbing trend—and offer suggestions on how we can make change around a problem that has a long legacy of harming our communities. With student questions led by Asian Studies Program Director Dr. Yitan Li, you won’t want to miss this essential and urgent conversation.

Champions Luncheon Annual Fundraiser 2021
Treehouse’s Champions Luncheon has been a fixture in the Treehouse community since 2005. Champions happens every spring and gathers over 1000 community members to celebrate and spotlight the stories and achievements of young folks who have experienced foster care.
More than 1,000 supporters from across the state came together virtually on March 17, 2021 for Treehouse’s annual Champions Luncheon fundraiser as youth impacted by foster care shared their success stories in partnership with the nonprofit organization.
This past year has challenged all of us more than ever before. Through powerful storytelling, we share how young people in foster care are finding strength and resilience to persevere.
