Greater Gig Harbor Foundation’s Shamrock’n the Harbor, a 5K/12K Family Fun Run/Walk @ Cushman Trail Park
Mar 18 @ 8:30 am

Greater Gig Harbor Foundation’s 2nd Annual Shamrock’n the Harbor is a 5K/12K family-fun run/walk. 100% of the proceeds from Shamrock’n the Harbor benefit the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation’s Gig Harbor Senior Center. The Senior Center is the only organization specifically working to meet the needs of our community’s seniors through regular programs, activities and services that enable them to remain active and thrive.

The courses follow the gorgeous Cushman Trail, with a few rolling hills to keep those legs awake and working; and for those doing the 12K you’ll get a gorgeous view from the Narrows Bridge. All ages can get seriously Irish while jigging o’er the hills, dales, and trails along your Shamrock’n journey!

All runners and volunteers are invited to the Post Run/Walk Céilí at Dunagan’s Irish Pub in Gig Harbor. Join us for awards, music and more!

The Run/Walk is limited to 200 participants, so prepare for some fun shenanigans and register today!

“Stone Soup,” FESS’ Seeds of Hope soup luncheon fundraiser @ Lacey campus, South Puget Sound Community College
Mar 31 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Enjoy an hour of laughter, hope and maybe a few tears at the Seeds of Hope soup luncheon. Money raised supports Family Education and Support Services (FESS) programs that aid the many families struggling to meet basic needs in Thurston, Lewis, Mason and Pierce counties. This year’s theme will be “Stone Soup,” and will include a retelling of the folktale about how working together as a community benefits everyone. Other highlights are a speech by Thurston County Superior Cour Judge Sharonda D. Amamilo, the first judge of color in the county, and a mother sharing her experiences with FESS’ Parent-Child Assistance Program, which supports moms overcoming substance abuse.

Money raised goes to FESS’ unrestricted programs, including the Basic Needs Program that helps with such expenses as move-in costs, utilities and diapers. Among other programs getting a boost will be its Kinship Navigator Program, which supports extended families who are raising the children of relatives. FESS assistance includes such items as emergency rental and utility aid and help with necessities like children’s school supplies and clothing.

If you would like for your lunch served in an authentic ceramic bowl, or your bread on a special bread plate, both made just for this event, upgrade your ticket to do so — and you get to take it home with you. For an additional upgrade, you can choose which item you would like rather than taking the next item available. Supplies are limited.
