Spring Fling Update & Remaining Items
Thu, Mar 12 10:04am

OMG THANK YOU
We did it. Not only did we reach our $90,000 goal—we surpassed it. As of March 12, Spring Fling has raised $107,468 for Whittier. Thank you to everyone who donated, bid, shared, volunteered, danced, laughed, and helped make this event such a success. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you (please see the full list of names below!).

Your generosity sends a clear message: our community values continued investment in our staff, programs, services, and the experiences that make Whittier special. If you’d still like to participate, highly discounted items and hosted party tickets remain available, and it’s not too late to make a donation: whittierptaseattle.org/spring-fling-2026.

Item pickup update: Catalog item pickup through the Front Office ends today. If you still need to collect a purchased item, please contact president@whittierptaseattle.org  to arrange pickup.

Want a say in how these funds are used?
