*March 19th Announcement*

With the health and well-being of our community always our top priority, the Northwest Chapter is postponing the in-person Black, White & Teal Gala event scheduled for May 30th in Seattle.

We are currently working on plans for a creative online fundraiser in lieu of the gala. We will have more details about how and when that will take place as plans are made.

As many of you know our annual dinner and auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. As we continue in these unpredictable times we hope you will consider making a donation (www.scleroderma.org/NorthwestDonate), if possible, so we can continue supporting patients and families in our community, and maintain the forward momentum in advances in research for a cure. We have also decided to change our June 6th Spokane Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma Walk event to a virtual walk. The Support Group Leaders training retreat scheduled for May has been postponed till next year. We will be offering online training material and resources for support groups to meet remotely. Please visit our website for links and updated information.

Please keep an eye out for future announcements from our chapter. We wish you and your family the best, and please reach out to us if we can help out in anyway.

Join our region in supporting non-profits on May 5th and 6th, 2020 and make a donation to support our chapter's mission!
