Holiday Spotlight --- SEQUOYAH ELECTRIC
This month WAAA would like to shine a particularly festive spotlight on one of our most generous supporters: Sequoyah Electric.
Sequoyah employees generously contribute their time and money throughout the year. This helps WAAA impact the lives of thousands of families annually in Washington State with children on the autism spectrum.
Sequoyah also has many employees who attend and volunteer at our events and have even served on our Board.

"This year is our Adopt-a-Family Program's 10th year and is one of the ways we’re living our core purpose of building community, improving lives. Each year Team Sequoyah steps up to contribute time, energy and funds to make the holidays brighter for our adopted families".
"Each family will receive a 'family basket' full of non-perishable food items, a gift card and a snuggly warm blanket. Each child will receive a stocking in addition to gifts from their wish list. Thank you, WAAA, for this wonderful opportunity" she added.
Sequoyah gives these gifts anonymously so they can come from Santa (or Mom and Dad). While the children may never know where their presents came from, we
