Assistance League of Southwest Washington extends our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for our 23rd Annual Sleigh Bell Benefit on December 8th. What a joyful and memorable afternoon! Your generosity was truly unmatched, and through every opportunity to give, you showed up for us in a big way.
A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who helped with setup, teardown, and everything in between. We are especially grateful to the teams from Papa Murphy’s, the young ladies from AKI, members of Bridge the Gap, student volunteers from Seton Catholic, and of course, our dedicated chapter members. Your time and energy made all the difference.

And finally, special shoutouts to Bob Knauer for always taking the time to capture our events through his photos, and to Courtney Givens and Kristin Stockton of Simple Pleasures Events for their endless support, creativity, and dedication in bringing this event to life. As always, we truly couldn’t do it without you.
