The Voices of Tomorrow Auction Gala on Friday, June 9th, 2023 at the Golf Club at Newcastle was a glamorous and fun-filled evening that left a lasting impact on the donors, distinguished guests, and the future legacy of VOT. Set against a gorgeous backdrop with panoramic views of Seattle and Bellevue, guests arrived with excitement, dressed to the nines, ready to support our cause and make a difference. Thanks to the success of this event, Voices of Tomorrow raised about $100,000 to go toward building the first East African Early Learning Center in the region. It will enable us to serve even more families and children through behavioral health programs and additional early learning classrooms.

The live auction took center stage at the gala, offering up exclusive items and experiences for bidding. The items up for auction included beautiful works of art, hand carved African artifacts, a cabin stay near Mt. Rainier and a week-long resort stay in the Bahamas. The attendees inspiring’ enthusiasm and generosity played a big role in creating a successful night to remember. The funds raised will undoubtedly empower Voices of Tomorrow to continue our invaluable work, supporting and guiding the East African community through trauma counseling, healing, and mental health programs. Our donors and sponsors played a crucial role in making all this possible, showing incredible support and generosity. To all who attended, your belief in the mission of Voices of Tomorrow and your willingness to contribute will always be remembered.
