Community Engagement

In response to some of the logistical challenges of the pandemic, the Foundation had to transition The Experience to a completely virtual event platform. Through the generous support of our donors, we met our goal to provide scholarships for tuition costs, emergency grants to help with rent and utility bills, and SPSCC Food Pantry boxes to address food insecurity. Thank you to The Experience co-chairs Lynnette McCarty and Carrie Whisler. In addition, the LGBTQ+ Party with a Purpose was virtually hosted by two friends of the Foundation, David Marks and John Doan, and raised $15,000 for the South Puget Sound Community College Emergency Fund for LQBTQ+ students. This was nearly double our 2018 results. We cannot thank our supporters enough!
