SAAS in the City

SAAS in the City is our annual gathering and fundraiser to support an Inclusive Community for every student. The event celebrates and showcases the transformational impact of a SAAS education.

During the event, we’ll ask you to Raise the Paddle and donate to Financial Aid to ensure every student, regardless of economic background, can access a SAAS education where they can take risks, explore, and experience a culture of performance to contribute boldly to a changing world. 

Located at the fabulous Fremont Studios in Seattle, the evening includes inspiring student and alumni performers, a cocktail reception, raffle, wine grab, and a festive dinner.

Why join? 

• Celebrate SAAS
• Invest in Financial Aid to support an Inclusive Community for every student
• Be inspired by students and alumni
• Enjoy good food, good wine, and good company!

RAISE THE PADDLE FOR AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

Join us at SAAS in the City to Raise the Paddle and make an investment in Financial Aid to support an Inclusive Community at SAAS. 

Your investment supports families by removing financial barriers and creating access, inclusion, and belonging so students can benefit from the full SAAS experience and education. Our student body brings a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives to the classroom and to our community, creating a vibrant learning environment that reflects today’s changing world.

We’ll offer a variety of donation levels and a collective opportunity for everyone in the room to make a difference together.  When the ask is made for Financial Aid, please Raise the Paddle at a donation level that is meaningful to you. If you prefer to give anonymously, pledge cards will be available. 

Your donations toward Financial Aid also supports Community Chest.
