Kim and Ken Schiewetz danced to the music of Bonnie and Nick at last year's FUSION gala at Dumas Bay Park last Wednesday. Over the past 14 years, FUSION has raised enough money to purchase and furnish ten housing units around the city that provide temporary shelter for families in need of housing.
There's still time to purchase tickets at the door of Federal Way's most lively and lavish event of the year, the FUSION gala and Dumas Bay. The event takes place at the Dumas Bay Center at 3200 Southwest Dash Point Road, and begins at 3 p.m.
FUSION (Friends United to Shelter the Indigent, Oppressed and Needy) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization founded in 1993.
Over the past 14 years, the group has raised enough money to purchase and furnish nine housing units around the city. FUSION offers these apartments as transitional housing for women and their children who need assistance in their pursuit of stability and permanence, and has an 85 percent success rate in moving families on to permanent housing.
The event features food from Metropolitan Market and artwork from local artists. Attendees can expect live music, as well as a silent auction during the evening, with the goal of raising $100,000 for the organization.
Tickets may be purchased at the door for $65. For more information about this event, contact Teryl Heller at (253) 839-6361.
