Menu & Schedule

Many families struggle to get insurance coverage or special education accommodations to meet their children’s particular needs. WAAA works as an ally with families, insurance providers, care providers, legislators, and educators to break down barriers to service.

Join WAAA for an intimate evening amongst friends and stakeholders who are passionate about social justice and health equity and want to make a difference in our community.

We need volunteers to ensure the success of our event. To volunteer, contact Events Coordinator.

We greatly appreciate our generous event sponsors!

Ambasadors

Table Ambassadors are the heart of Night Out for a Cause attendance. Each Table Ambassador strives to fill a table of 10, building a team of WAAA community supporters. Table Ambassadors are recognized for their support in the Night Out for a Cause program and in social media posts. Our goal is for this intimate event to bring together approximately 160 guests who are passionate about social justice and health equity to help us make a difference in the lives of families impacted by autism. Table Ambassador Duties Organizing a Table Filling your table begins with extending the invitation. The best invitation for your guests is a personal one. We have an ambassador toolkit with tips and writing samples to help you. The most important thing is to extend the invitation. Beyond making an impact on families’ lives, Night Out for a Cause is a fun and energizing evening. The silent auction has some wonderful items to bid on, including travel, artwork, and one of-a-kind experiences, and the Live auction has priceless items from a one-week stay at a Villa in Umbria, Italy to a special Seahawks package. The people at your table, and throughout the event, will be great company. And they’ll walk away from the evening knowing that they’re making an impact in the life of a family living with autism.
