< Return to Photo Albums Main Page The MAVIN Foundation Annual Gala. On October 8, 2005, three hundred of our most generous supporters joined us for an inspiring evening celebrating our innovative and award-winning projects. The setting was the beautiful McCaw Hall at Seattle Center. Participants enjoyed an elegant dinner, silent and live auctions, live music and special remarks by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Regional Director, James Whitfield. Together, we raised nearly $80,000 for MAVIN Foundation programs! A heartfelt thank you to everyone, and we hope to see you again next year! There were just too many great photos for only one page! Enjoy them all: Page 1 Page 2 |
