All benefit proceeds go to the Sequim Food Bank as a gift, and organizers note there is a $5,000 “challenge match” included: Each dollar collected though donations and sponsorship will be matched up to $5,000.

“We hope this event will spread awareness of the many programs we have, like the Family Holiday Meals and the Weekend Meal Bags for Kids, and inspire people to support our vision that ‘No One Goes Hungry in Our Community’,” said Andra Smith, executive director of the Sequim Food Bank.
“We are so grateful to Jean Lenke and her team for putting on this special benefit event and for the entire Sequim community and their ongoing support of the Sequim Food Bank.”
