Homage Senior Services held its annual fundraising dinner show March 2. The theme this year was “Dancing in the Streets,” and there was a lot of dancing happening at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center to help raise funds to promote independence, preserve dignity and enhance the quality of life through the provision of services for older adults and people with disabilities.
The evening raised an awe-inspiring $130,000.
Carolyn Weikel was our emcee for the evening, Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin welcomed the crowd of over 300.
The Daily Herald was presented with Homage’s Powerful Partner Award, and Publisher Josh O’Connor was there to accept the honor (See Page 4 for more information).
Special thanks to Vicci Hilty and Josh O’Connor for connecting the audience to our mission, and for helping to raise those paddles during the Fund-a-Need.
The Sound Edge Orchestra provided the musical entertainment for the evening playing Motown classics. They are amazing!
