Join us for a gear changing celebration!

Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion
Silent auction starts at 5:30pm
Dinner served at 7:00pm

Help the Bicycle Alliance of Washington shift gears for bicycle advocacy statewide by joining us at our annual fundraiser on October 22!  Proceeds from this event support our advocacy and education efforts statewide.  These funds help us deliver Safe Routes to School services to districts around Washington and make it possible for us to bring our Hub & Spoke events to bike advocates in their communities.  They help us shift the gears of government policies and change the minds of legislators.

Fun is a given at the auction.  Besides the silent and live auctions, there is a dessert dash, wine grab bag, and a split-the-pot raffle.  Nearly 300 friends of bicycling attend this gala and there’s ample time to socialize, catch up with old friends and meet new ones!
