About the Event

In 2026, ARC transitioned from our Fund the Fun breakfast to Power of Play, a ticketed evening event to celebrate 50 years of partnership between Associated Recreation Council and Seattle Parks & Recreation.

We celebrated in the elegant Crystal Ballroom at the Washington Athletic Club on Thursday evening, March 5th, 2026, from 5:30 – 8:00 PM. We recognized those who built this organization and inspired guests with our vision for the future. Together, we supported the incredible work and partnership between ARC & Seattle Parks and Recreation.

What does this event support?

Funds raised from this event will be distributed evenly between the Seattle Parks and Recreation Scholarship program and ARC. Donations went to where they were needed most in our community – to support programs for our kids and families in the most need.
