A big thank you for making our 2026 Get In The Game fundraiser a success! We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for all of the ways you have supported us. From learning about the work we do in our community, to playing our games of the evening like “Golden Ticket” and “Heads or Tails”, to bidding for the silent auction items, to taking a chance at the Mystery Walls, to raising your paddle during the live auction, or even the final appeal. Additional thanks to those who could not attend but who made donations in support!

And “thank you” to our athletes, staff, board members, and volunteers for helping put the evening together. A special shout out again to all of our sponsors that made this fundraiser possible.

As Team ASNW, we sold around 200 tickets and raised over $75,000 this year which will go a long way in keeping our athletes in the game through our programs, and will surely help with continuously growing our community.
