Annual Meet the Candidates Reception

Sunday, September 18, 2022 at the Dunn Gardens

Candidates, retiring champions, advocates, and other dedicated supporters came together for CCF's first in person event in over three years! At the height of the election season, we were honored to spotlight our endorsed candidates and raise crucial funds to support their elections. This was an unforgettable afternoon of making connections and taking action on behalf of Washington's children, youth, and families. Check out photos from this inspiring event below!
