AtWork! Raises $115,000 at Benefit Breakfast

A huge thanks to all of our supporters who contributed $51,000 more than was raised at our very successful event in 2007. A special thank you to Colliers International, our presenting sponsor, and to Columbia Bank, Lindley Properties and First Mutual Bank, our Contributing Sponsors. It was an inspiring event full of hope and achievement — 250 guests gave generously from the heart.

March 12th was an exciting day for all, but especially for Ryan, who had a chance to talk with Dennis Bounds of King 5 News and tell the audience about his great new job, cooking french fries at a McDonald’s restaurant.

Chris Brandt, CEO, talked about the opportunity each person has to bring pride of contribution to the lives of people with disabilities every single day.

AtWork! was pleased to honor Zonar Systems as Supporter of the Year. Accepting the award from Sherri Bealkowski, Board Chair, was Mike McQuade, Chief Technology Officer for Zonar.
