The July 17 West Seattle Garden Tour has tallied up our revenue for this years tour and, despite the rainy weather, they had over 800 people tour 10 gardens and raised enough revenue from sponsorship and sales to fund all eight of this years beneficiaries, a record number. They raised $23,711.
The Beneficiary Awards Ceremony took place Wednesday night at the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center, 4705 W Marginal Way SW.
This year's beneficiaries are:
The Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center
- ArtsWest
- Lincoln Park P-Patch
- Nantes Park
- Nature Consortium
- Seattle Chinese Garden
- Walking on Logs Restoration Group
- West Seattle Tool Library
"We're very proud of what we've achieved," said Jim Reid, President, West Seattle Garden Tour for two years. "We have a great sponsorship committee, and a great organization. It's a real thrill to give such worthy organizations this funding. I feel that maybe we all felt even a stronger motivation to get out there and do our part because the government agencies are cutting back on parks and things like that. I'm very proud of our team."
