In honor of ARC’s 50th anniversary in partnership with Seattle Parks & Recreation, ARC is hosting Power of Play, an evening cocktail fundraiser.

Big Day of Play is a free celebration of our city’s diversity, and it encourages neighbors, communities, and families to have fun, build relationships and be active together.

Fund the Fun was our free annual breakfast fundraiser where we fundraised for scholarships and Mayor Harrell’s Swim Seattle initiative. Watch our Fund the Fun fundraising videos and read about 2024’s breakfast!
