The Spotlight is our signature annual fundraiser, bringing together artists, community leaders, and supporters to uplift young musicians. This year, we celebrate Totem Star’s 15th birthday with an unforgettable evening of live performances, connection, and impact. The Spotlight is making a comeback this year with delicious food, a lively DJ dance party, centered all around our playful theme “Come As You Were.”

Guests are encouraged to dress like their 15-year-old selves, whether that means rocking a favorite band tee, throwback formalwear, or a look that captures those unforgettable teenage years.

Plus, don’t miss our grand prize raffle for your chance to win two round-trip tickets to destinations across North America, Central America, or Hawai‘i, generously provided by Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines.

The Spotlight 2025 will be held at 9th & Thomas (234 9th Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109) on Thursday, October 9, 2025 from 6-9pm. Together, we will honor 15 years of music production, live performance, and mentorship while fueling the next generation of youth artists.
