Don your best Irish and join in Shamrock’n the Harbor. The family-friendly run/walk event encourages all ages to get seriously Irish. Run, walk, or skip along your Shamrock’n journey!
The 5k and 12k routes take runners, walkers and strollers, o’er the hills, dales, streets and trails of our greater Gig Harbor and Key Peninsula region. Shamrock’n the Harbor benefits the Gig Harbor Senior Center and is a great excuse to get outside while helping a great cause.

Regional mental health needs highlight Changing Minds event
Funds support MultiCare Behavioral Health
Tickets are now available for Changing Minds, an annual benefit of the MultiCare Behavioral Health Foundation to create awareness of and support for mental health issues.
The fundraiser highlights the demand for mental health services in our region, and how MultiCare Behavioral Health has responded by integrating mental health treatment into primary care settings through collaborative care and school-based partnerships.
A luncheon will be held Tuesday, May 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Seattle’s Leonesa Ballroom, 721 Pine St., Seattle. While tickets are free, guests will be asked to make a minimum donation of $150.
Former Evening Magazine host Angela Poe Russell will emcee the event. Other speakers at Changing Minds include MultiCare Behavioral Health providers and a patient who will discuss the impact of accessible behavioral health care.
The deadline to reserve tickets to the luncheon is April 30.
