Fundraising Campaigns

 

With nearly 300,000 seniors living in King County (a population that is expected to continue growing in the coming years), there has never been a bigger demand for our services.  

As a 501(c)3 (23-7155008), we rely heavily on the support of our community to meet our mission and the needs of the seniors who rely on us. When you support the Senior Center of West Seattle, you can rest assured that your financial support is benefiting your neighbors.  

To reach our financial goals, we offer a number of fundraising events and opportunities throughout the year. Below, you can find a little information about each campaign. Be sure to check back often for updates on our fundraising efforts.
