BRIDGEWAYS THANKS OUR COMMUNITY In a time of financial uncertainty, Snohomish County residents came out in support of adults suffering from severe mental illness. Bridgeways held its 2nd annual fundraising event October 16, 2008 at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center. Amy Clancy, from KIRO TV was our emcee and Anthony E Zuiker, creator and Executive Producer of the CSI franchise was our keynote speaker and auctioneer. The evening festivities, which included auctioning off three walk on parts for CSI New York, dinner in Los Angeles with Mr. Zuiker, and tours of all three CSI sets, raised more than $125,000. In an unexpected and unprecedented show of support Mr. and Mrs. Zuiker gave a matching gift, which brought the evening’s total to more than $250,000. Thanks also goes to our sponsors whose generosity in underwriting the entire cost of the event made it possible for all monies raised that evening to go directly to services for Bridgeways clients Presenting Sponsor: Rodland Toyota Supporting Sponsors: Boeing Providence Regional Medical Center, Everett Table Sponsors: AstraZeneca Everett Ear Nose and Throat Frontier Bank Northwest Staffing
