A Nanny for U teamed with Childhaven to offer trusted caregivers for the night of the fundraising dinner and auction.
In partnership with the Seattle Seahawks and the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation, $500,000 was raised to support therapeutic child care for the youngest victims of abuse and neglect. This year’s auction had the highest fundraising total in the eight-year history of the event.
In addition to bidding on beautiful jewelry, amazing travel excursions and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, the 575 guests at the elegant event were encouraged to "raise your bid cards and invest in the lives of our children" by honorary event co-chair and former Seahawk Mack Strong, who called a gift to Childhaven "the safest, most secure investment you can make, now or ever." The call to "fund the mission" raised $191,000.
A Nanny for U donated date night and girls night out childcare for an entire year to two lucky bidders. Couldn't be there? You can still celebrate by making a donation online.
