A Community Circle of Support for Shoreline and Lake Forest Park residents

Kind+co Events Cocktails for a Cause
Wednesday, for NUHSA

By Donna Hawkey

Three Lake Forest Park entrepreneurs are hosting a party for the North Urban Human Services Alliance (NUHSA), and are highlighting the strength of our communities at the same time!

On Wednesday evening, September 25, 2019 Kind+co Events is sponsoring NUHSA’s fall fundraising event called “Cocktails for a Cause.” And you are all invited, too!

It’s going to be a vibrant party and includes specialty craft cocktails and appetizers. But also, guests will have the ability to admire and shop at pop-up artist’s various booths. This is an innovative idea from three women who want to give back to the community.

While listening to some cool tunes brought to you by LFP resident DJ Zach, and taking in the big view of Lake Washington from the Lake Forest Park Civic Club, you will also be socializing with your neighbors, friends, and elected officials.

100% of the proceeds from this event will be donated to NUHSA. The NUHSA organization is well-positioned to advocate for the ever-increasing and critical human service needs in North King County and includes all of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, and Woodinville.

Specialty craft cocktails and appetizers will be
available at Wednesday's event for NUHSA.
Places are still available.

Entrepreneurs Deci Evans, Nicola Dahlin and Leslie Eck started Kind+co Events after meeting as involved parents at the local elementary school their kids were attending.

They took on the job of chairing the school’s auction and succeeded in growing that auction’s results from $10,000 to over $100,000 in just five years!

If you’ve ever been involved in school auctions, you will understand what a feat this is for these three parents.

These enterprising moms realized the satisfaction they receive in helping others raise money for important causes. Through all that, they decided to start Kind+co Events. Their LFP business can do all the creation and management of a special event, or they can do just a part of it.

They are honored to be able to give back with their “Cocktails for a Cause” annual in-kind event to NUHSA for 2019. 

“NUHSA as an advocacy umbrella organization brings support to currently hundreds of non-profits, and lines-up perfectly with our mission of bringing about social service awareness,” says, Ms. Evans. 

And this is the second year Kind+co Events has generously awarded an organization “who give so much to their communities.” Last year’s recipient was HaART, a program out of Harborview Medical Center.
