Style 2018 Fundraiser

Style ’18 raised a whopping $310,000—thanks to YOU!

As Northwest Hope & Healing’s biggest event of the year, this high-energy evening was a whirlwind of celebration and support for women who are undergoing treatment for breast and gynecologic cancer in the Seattle area. Just take a look:

Held at the newly opened The Sanctuary, highlights of our 2018 event included heart-warming presentations from former recipients of NWHH assistance including Shelly Hughes, and Evelyn, Chris, and Emma Daniels, a guest appearance by the inimitable Thierry Rautureau of Loulay and Luc restaurants, a beautiful musical performance by Rebecca Friedman, live music by DJ Phase, and entertainer and EMCEE extraordinaire, Ian Lindsay.

Cork Fork Support Wine Tasting Fundraiser on November 16, 2017

Thank you to all who joined us at this event!

With your help, we raised over $35,000 to support Northwest Hope & Healing

 

Cork, Fork, & Support was a grand success—where an awesome gathering of friends, colleagues and neighbors gathered at the historic Melrose Market Studios for a fun night of tasting local wines, cider and spirits and delectable hors d’oeuvres.

Guests bid on awesome auction packages, bought raffle tickets, and raised their paddle—all in support of local women who are undergoing treatment at the Swedish Cancer Institute for breast or gynecologic cancer. 

Thank You to Our Sponsors

Thank you again to Health Perspectives Group, Lake Partners Strategy Consultants, and Swedish Cancer Institute for your premier sponsorship of the event—almost 100% funded by your sponsorships. Thank you Wells Fargo for your volunteers, and to all of our other donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Because of your kindness and generosity, more women who are struggling financially will be supported while undergoing cancer treatment.

As one of Northwest Hope and Healing’s three major annual fundraisers, this event enables us to provide these women with immediate financial assistance—funds that can be applied towards everyday living expenses such as childcare or groceries, reliable transportation and/or emergency rent. Some of these women would be unable to make an electric bill payment or even put food on the table for their children, were it not for our support.

Cosmo 7k (formerly the Alki Beach 5k) Fundraiser a Success!

Cosmo 7k and 5k (formerly Alki Beach 5k) A Success

Thank you to the 1,100+ people who supported Northwest Hope & Healing!

On Sunday August 27, more than 1100 women, men, and children ran a great route, along a gorgeous waterfront, for a genuinely good cause: raising money to provide immediate financial assistance to local women who are undergoing treatment for breast or gynecologic cancer at Swedish Cancer Institute.

This year, the Board of Northwest Hope & Healing decided to transfer ownership of the Alki Beach 5k to a local events organization called Fizz Events.  Not only did this relieve us of the (high) cost of producing the event, it enabled 100% of your donations to go directly to NWHH to support women in cancer treatment – a huge win!

This Year’s Run Included:

  • Both 5k and 7k options
  • Kids Race with Special Kids’ Superhero Cape
  • Women’s Long Sleeve Tech Top for all 7K & 5K participants
  • Logo-ed Cosmo Martini Glass and 2 cosmos at the finish line
  • Finisher Medal
  • Personalized Participant Bib
  • Chip Timers
  • Live music and fun at the finish line

Fizz Events Proceed Distribution:

  • $2 from every registration went to NWHH
  • All proceeds from tribute patches went to NWHH
  • 100% of your donations went to NWHH
  • A portion of all sponsorship dollars went to NWHH

 

New Interim Executive Director Karyn Blasi Hellar

We are excited to announce the selection of Karyn Blasi Hellar as our new interim Executive Director, and invite you to join us in thanking Kristina Dahl for serving in this role for nearly two years.

We are grateful to Kristina for helping Northwest Hope and Healing grow—through more awareness, more donations, and best of all, more women receiving help through our grants and healing baskets. We are sad to see her leave, but wish her all the best in her new endeavor as a high school English teacher.

Karyn (pictured at right) is prepared to lead NWHH with enthusiasm, knowledge of the organization, a first-hand understanding of our patients’ needs, and a commitment to our cause.

She also brings a wealth of experience to her new role: while managing breast imaging for Swedish Hospital, First Hill, she was asked to join NWHH Board, where she filled roles on the executive team as Board Chair and Vice Chair. Prior to her tenure at Swedish, she worked for a decade at both Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, where she more recently managed the breast cancer program.

“I look forward to continuing to serve and partner with Seattle’s dynamic community in this new capacity,” remarks Karyn. “I am dedicated to supporting and developing NWHH because it provides vital resources to those in need, contributing to this region’s quality of life.”

Please join us in wishing Kristina well in her new endeavors, and also in welcoming Karyn to her new role.

Sunday August 27, 2017

We are excited to announce that NW Hope & Healing has transferred ownership of the Alki Beach 5k to a local events organization, Fizz Events.  This is great news for runners everywhere, and it’s great news for NWHH and the women we serve, too!  Now you can run on the same great course at Alki Beach, but you have more opportunities than ever to have a good time, all while raising money to support NW Hope & Healing.

Why the change?

The cost of producing a great run event is high, and the funds to produce the run came out of donations to the run.  With Fizz Events taking ownership of the events, 100% of your donations go directly to NWHH to support women in cancer treatment – and that’s a win win!

What’s new at the event?

In addition to the great course and great cause, there will be lots of upgrades for participants, including:

  • Both 5k and 7k options
  • Kids Race with Special Kids’ Superhero Cape
  • Women’s Long Sleeve Tech Top for all 7K & 5K participants
  • Logoed Cosmo Martini Glass & 2 Cosmos at the finish line
  • Finisher Medal
  • Personalized Participant Bib
  • Chip Timed Event
  • Live Music & more finish line fun!

How does this event help women?

Fizz Events is offering many ways to donate!

  • $2 from every registration goes to NWHH
  • All proceeds from tribute patches go to NWHH
  • 100% of your donations go to NWHH
    • Sign up now to be a team captain and raise even more with your friends!
  • A portion of all sponsorship dollars support NWHH
