A Heartfelt Thank You

to Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection!

Last month, we shared about our exciting partnership with Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection. Today, we’re honored to celebrate the impact of that collaboration. Because we were selected as a beneficiary for the Friday runway show, 100 % of ticket proceeds were donated to Sports In Schools. Thanks to the generosity of The Bellevue Collection and all who attended, we were gifted $43,000 toward our mission! 


This remarkable gift will go directly toward supporting under-resourced youth in our local schools, funding equipment grants and program support that ensures every student has access to play, learn, and grow.


We are deeply grateful to The Bellevue Collection, the event organizers, designers, volunteers, sponsors, and every guest who made this possible. Your belief in the power of sports in education means the world to us — and to the countless students who will benefit.


Thank you for your continued support!


In Case You Missed It...


Our Executive Director, Robert Turbin, appeared on The CW’s Arc Seattle Live to share what drives his passion for Sports in Schools and to spotlight our partnership with Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection’s Fashion for Philanthropy program. Check out the replay here:

We'll Miss You, Khyree and Katie!


We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Khyree Smith, who has been a valued member of our program staff for the past two years, and to Katie Wallace, who has served on our board for four years.


Their dedication, energy, and belief in the power of sports have made a lasting impact on our students and our mission. We’re deeply grateful for all they’ve contributed and wish them the best in what’s ahead.
