A mini press release regarding this year's beneficiaries and sponsorship drive.
The West Seattle Garden Tour (WSGT) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3)
staffed entirely by a group of volunteers from the West Seattle
Community, many of whom are previous WSGT gardeners, long-time tour
attendees or people who just love gardening, good food and wine and
the West Seattle community.
Each year, the WSGT donates the net proceeds from the Tour to
Seattle-based non-profit organizations that promote horticultural,
educational, or artistic endeavors. This year, we are pleased to
announce that proceeds from the 2011 Garden Tour will benefit ArtsWest
Theatre, the Seattle Chinese Garden, the Duwamish Longhouse, Lincoln
Park P-Patch, Nantes Park, the Nature Consortium, Walking on Logs
Landscape Restoration Group and the West Seattle Tool Library.
We are also in our last month of soliciting sponsorship for the 2011
WSGT. Sponsorship accounts for more than 50% of the Tour’s proceeds
and is a critical component to help us reach our revenue goals so that
we may fully fund our beneficiaries. 2011 sponsorship is lagging
slightly behind our 2010 sponsorship levels and we ask that any
business or individual interested in sponsoring this year’s WSGT visit
our website www.westseattlegardentour.com to download a sponsorship
packet.
More information on our 2011 beneficiaries as well as garden
descriptions and photos will be available on our website within the
next few weeks.
Best Regards,
