Community-minded guests attended the lively and engaging Sand in the City Gala fundraiser to benefit the Hands on Children’s Museum. Local food and music made this event an amazing success. During the “raise the paddle” portion of the evening $117,000 was raised to fund building the Lookout Lighthouse, in the Outdoor Discovery Center. All additional funds raised benefit the museum’s free and reduced admission programs, which serve 76,000 children and families each year in the South Sound community.
