Tacoma, Washington — April 17, 2024 — Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) will be hosting its 2nd annual Puget Sound area dinner and auction on Saturday, April 20th at the Marriott Downtown Tacoma (1538 Commerce St, Tacoma, WA 98402). This event will support ongoing programs and services for children, youth, adults and veterans living in the Puget Sound area who are blind and visually impaired. 

NWABA’s programs offers opportunities, through sports and physical activity, to individuals with visual impairments allowing them to build confidence, improve self-esteem, enhance physical activity, develop friendships, and gain the skills, tools and resources needed to reach their greatest potential in all areas of life.

This community event includes business leaders and philanthropists coming together to support NWABA’s impact and growth across the Puget Sound region. This year’s event will be especially inspirational as we offer the community an opportunity to celebrate the athletes and families we are honored to serve throughout the year. Guests will enjoy unique silent and live auction items, a delectable meal, fine wine, powerful stories from our athletes, and much more!

A few tickets to the Together in Tandem Dinner & Auction are still available at $100 per seat. To RSVP, visit www.nwaba.org/togetherpug. Or to learn more about other opportunities to support NWABA’s mission, please contact Sue Warren, Director of Development & Communications, at ren@nwaba.org">swarren@nwaba.org or visit our website at nwaba.org.

About NWABA: 
The mission of Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) is to provide life-changing opportunities through sports and physical activity to individuals who are blind and visually impaired. A group of students who were visually impaired formed the association in 2007 to ensure that people who are blind were participating in sports and physical activity. Today, NWABA is a rapidly expanding 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides more than 3,500 program and service interactions through tailored programming to children, youth, adults and military veterans, which improves self-confidence and self-esteem, promotes independence, creates an inclusive community of supporters, and builds the skills necessary to succeed in all areas of life including school and employment.
