Friends of the Children-Seattle is a force for generational change, supporting youth who are facing the toughest systemic barriers in our community realize their power through relationships with salaried, professional mentors for 12+ years—no matter what.

We first connected with Friends of the Children–Seattle when Stefan Hauser, their Community Engagement Manager, invited us to host a pizza-tossing event and provide gift cards for mentors and mentees. We later added a career day, giving youth a behind-the-scenes look at Pagliacci. “It was awesome to see the kids have fun and learn about our roles,” says Lauren Ho, Friends’ Marketing & Events Coordinator. With their 25th anniversary approaching, we’re donating $5,000 in meals and inviting you to join us in supporting their mission to provide specialized, long-term commitment to youth and families in our Greater Seattle region. Every donation makes a difference—let’s make an impact together. Learn more about Friends of the Children-Seattle at friendsseattle.org.
