Summer s Greatest Adventure Summer in Seattle has become synonymous with this region s iconic festival... SeafaIr. Founded in 1950, the festival was designed to attract tourists and promote marine events in keeping with Seattle s boast as the boating capital of the world. Since then, for over 66 years, Seafair has been connecting and celebrating the community spirit of Greater Seattle. Over an eight-week period, Seattle residents and visitors enjoy a whirlwind of family activities, cultural festivals, neighborhood parades and sporting events. Seafair culminates with a nighttime parade, the thunder of the world s fastest race boats skimming across Lake Washington, the top wakeboard athletes in the country showing off their tricks in a exhibition and the US Navy Blue Angels soaring overhead. Collectively, Seafair is involved in over 75 events that combined touch nearly two million people annually. Seafair is woven into the hearts of this community. Join the Seafair family and become a part of this long standing tradition.

SEAFAIR FOUNDATION PROGRAMS Seafair Foundation Community Events Program Seafair believes in celebrating the traditions of our region, resources and diverse residents. Each year, approximately 30 local parades & festivals are chosen through an application process to be a part of the Seafair Foundation Community Events Program. Seafair offers program participants resources that include support, training, information, marketing and event promotions, operational and administrative assistance. Seafair Foundation Scholarship Program for Women The Seafair Foundation Scholarship Program for Women provides an incredible experience for young women seeking academic scholarships and opportunities for leadership development. The Scholarship Program for Women strives to empower young women in reaching their personal and professional goals. The program showcases individual s talents, academic abilities, creative expression, public speaking skills and community service. Seafair Foundation Ambassador Program The Seafair Foundation Ambassador Program has positively influenced the lives of many local teens. Each year, ten local high school sophomores/ juniors are selected through an application process. The students are active for a period of one year where they serve as volunteers, meet with mentors and participate in festival events. The ambassadors learn just how global and local their own community is in preparation for an even larger learning experience as they host students from the Seattle Sister City of Kobe, Japan. In the fall the students go on their own international trip to visit Kobe.

FOUNDATION PROGRAMS CONT. Seafair Foundation Holiday Cruise This heartwarming event takes to the water as independent boaters and charter operators volunteer their boats, crew and time to host more than 2,000 developmentally disabled guests on a special holiday cruise on Lake Union and Lake Washington. Nearly 400 boaters will decorate their boats in a festive display of lights and welcome guests aboard at various docks and yacht clubs around the area. Seafair Foundation Youth Education Program The Seafair Foundation Youth Education Program provides the opportunity for students to learn about and appreciate the history of Seafair and the role of hydroplane racing and aviation in our community. This program explores the math and science behind both racing and aviation. This multi-dimensional education program is taught by hydroplane drivers, Miss Seafair and other prominent individuals. Students build their own mini-hydroplane during the classroom visit. Other Seafair Foundation Events Include: Seafair Foundation Fundraiser, Miss Seafair Royalty Luncheon, Community Service/Creative Expression Presentations and several community and cultural parades.
