Beneficiaries Sought For 2013 Shows

Moisture Festival is dedicated to giving back to the generous community we are a part of in Seattle. Every year at the festival we produce several shows that benefit very worthy organizations.  In past years we have partnered with  The New Old Time Chautauqua, Circus Contraption, SANCA - the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts, "Aerlift" an aerial show presented by The Aerial Army of Love, Vashon Youth & Family Services, B. F. Day School Foundation, Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, Clowns Without Borders, and The Fremont Arts Council.

The Moisture Festival is looking for 501(c)3 organizations to support through our 2013 benefit shows.

Does your organization have a robust contact list and a dedicated group of supporters? If so, consider partnering with the Moisture Festival to put on a benefit show. More information is available on our website.

We'd like to sincerely thank the over 200 generous festival patrons who attended the Moulin to Moisture auction and show on Friday October 5th at Hale's Palladium.

MC and Auctioneer 'magnifique' Kevin Joyce

The event was made possible by the donation of over $21,000 of auction items and the support from community businesses and organizations. We'd like to especially thank the great folks at Hale's Brewery, the Back Door at Roxy's and Tom Bennett Catering. Also the event would not have been possible without the support of our remarkable volunteers. The auction raised over $25,000 that will help with the funding of the 10th anniversary festival in 2013 and our ongoing operations. We are deeply grateful for your support. More John Cornicello's photos of the evening can be found on facebook.
