On Friday, October 2nd, Rebuilding Together Seattle donors, sponsors, and volunteers gathered at MOHAI for the
6th Annual Beer & Wine Tasting fundraiser. Together our supporters raised
$143,000 for homeowners in need of critical home repairs!
Rebuilding Together Seattle thanks everyone who made this evening possible, especially our Presenting Sponsor, the
Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, our Gold Sponsor, Infiniti of Bellevue, and matching donors Jim and Debbie Bevier. RTS also sends a special thanks to
Dena Parmer, an RTS Program Recipient who shared about the impact that the help she received made on her life:
"The repairs the volunteers completed not only gave us a better home, but gave us a renewed sense of hope and energy to move forward in our lives. Rebuilding Together Seattle stepped into our lives and helped give us a warmer, safer home along with hope for our future."
RTS was also thrilled to introduce our
new Executive Director, Nicole Ferrer, at the event! She will officially begin her work at RTS in late October, and we could not be more excited to have her on board.

Larry lives with his two adult daughters, Erika and Kandace, in their Rainier Beach home. Larry and his wife had been saving money to complete much-needed repairs on their home, but his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. They put all their money saved toward her medical expenses, however she passed away later that year.
