More details, for those who like to look before they leap.
How does it work?
Swank is Saturday, October 16, 6pm-midnight at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront. The evening has three phases:
1) Silent auction, games and cocktail hour
Explore our array of silent auction items, try your hand at the wine toss, get a picture or two taken, buy yourself a drink at the bar and soak up the Swank atmosphere.
2) Live auction and dinner
Sit at a table of 10 and enjoy a wonderful dinner and complementary wine, engage in the spirited competition of our live auction and dessert dash!
3) Dancing and evening fun
The auction may be over, but it's not yet time to go home! Stay late into the evening for dancing. For those less inclined to show their moves on the floor there's more time to talk, buy a drink and pick up the fantastic auction items you won!
How do tickets work?
A table seats 10 guests. Round up nine folks, and you of course, and purchase the table online. While a few people spring for the whole table, just about everyone has their guests pay them back for their seats.
Some extra details: when you register, you'll have the option to enter in your guests' names, emails and meal preferences. If you know that info, great. If you don't, no worries - it's also easy to let us know later. Guest information just needs to be confirmed the Friday a week prior to the event - 10/8.
What if I don't have 10 people?
Individual tickets are also available and you can buy as many or as few as you like. You can request to sit with other guests who buy their tickets separately - no promises we'll be able to make it work, but we do our best to honor all requests. Early birds usually win.
What do I wear?
The official dress is "cocktail attire". Interpret as you wish.
We think these people all look awesome:
Do I need a date?
No!
We get plenty of people who come with a date, plenty of people who come looking for a date and plenty of people could care less about a date and are having a good time with their friends.
What are we raising money for?
So glad you asked! Dollars support our work to get more people volunteering, voting, giving money and stepping up as leaders. We facilitated more than 25,000 volunteer hours last year alone! Not to mention the fact that we provide training on boards and commission, provide non-partisan and useful voter information, connect people with established community leaders and provide a forum for our generation to make connections with one another.
