Join us for the 2026 PEPS Benefit Luncheon—an annual gathering that brings our community together to celebrate the power of connection, hear inspiring stories, and raise critical funds for the programs that support parents across our region.
There is no cost to attend, but every seat filled and every gift given helps ensure more families have access to the community they need. We'd love to have you there.
As a Table Captain, you'll help fill the room with people who care—inviting friends, family, and your PEPS community to join us for an afternoon of connection, inspiration, and giving back. We'll provide everything you need to make it easy, from invitation templates to a full day-of guide.
Help us meet out goal of raising $85,000 before the event. This money will be used to match donations between $400 and $1,499 and Sustainer Circle commitments ($1,500 or more per year for three years) committed during the event. Your early commitment inspires others to give generously on the day.
Email us or call 206-508-1757 if you would like to join the Giving Challenge.
Sponsoring the PEPS Benefit Luncheon is an opportunity to align your business with a community of passionate, values-driven parents. Your support helps cover event costs and puts your brand in front of an engaged audience who appreciates businesses that invest in families and community.

Ashley is a dynamic auctioneer and emcee for in-person, virtual, and hybrid fundraisers. With a master’s degree in special education and a background as a public-school teacher, she’s spent her career mastering one key skill: keeping people genuinely engaged. Onstage, that translates into a high-trust presence that’s equal parts heartfelt, fun, and effective.
Ashley has partnered with organizations such as LeMay America’s Car Museum, Lakeside School, SheJumps, Best Buddies, WWIN, The Assistance League, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, KIDS Center Bend, Southwest Youth and Family Services, St. Thomas School, Westside School, Cascadia Art Museum, the ALS Association, and many others.
When she’s not behind the mic, Ashley teaches chair yoga for seniors—and yes, she really does flying trapeze (because apparently fundraising wasn’t exhilarating enough). Meet Ashley and the Northup Fundraising team at NorthupFundraising.com.
Everett is the Radio Play-by-Play Announcer for the Seattle Kraken, but his role goes beyond broadcasting. He regularly collaborates with the Kraken’s community relations team, speaking to people of all backgrounds about hockey, to meeting with community and business leaders across the Greater Seattle Area. One of his favorite aspects of the job is bringing the community together to learn about the sport and become avid fans.
That love of community brought Everett to PEPS; he and his wife joined a Group with their baby, and he felt open to share—sometimes overshare, he says—with his group immediately. The connection, he said, “prevented us from drowning” and inspired him to join the PEPS Board of Directors.
Free childcare is available for children ages 18 months to 5 years, provided by our community partner Rosie and hosted at Seattle Children's Museum—right next door to Fisher Pavilion. While you connect and celebrate, your little ones will have exclusive access to the entire museum plus additional arts and STEM activities.
Space is limited to 40 children and registration is required by April 28, 2026. Spots fill quickly so register early.
Please note that babes in arms are welcome at the luncheon itself.
