Everfree Northwest delivers Charity Auction Donation to Seattle Children's Hospital
The money raised from Everfree Northwest’s Charity Auction – a total of $21,070 – was formally donated today to Everfree Northwest’s chosen charity, Seattle Children’s Hospital. The money will go to aid the hospital in its mission to help prevent, treat, and cure disease in children. Specifically, the generous gifts of our lucky auction winners have gone to directly benefit the revolutionary research of Seattle Children’s Dr. Michael Jensen.
Imagine, for a moment, no radiation, no chemotherapy. Imagine the body’s own cells could be tailor-made to fight cancer at its source and allow a patient to move on to a normal life without the devastating, exhausting side effects of traditional oncology treatments. It’s through your generosity, dear Pony friends, that research like this can move forward:
We are proud and humbled to convey your loving gift to a truly worthy cause. This year you shattered last year’s already stunning $13,535 with a jaw-dropping $21,070. Needless to say, we are eagerly awaiting next year’s charity auction!
