Buckles, Boots & Big Hearts
First Annual Gala benefiting Foster Champs of Washington
Dinner, a little friendly competition, and a room full of people who believe every kid deserves a champion in their corner. Here's what's on for the night.
Come solo, bring a date, or gather your crew and host a whole table. Every seat helps a local foster, adoptive, or kinship family.
Every button opens the ticket picker on Givebutter, the safe and secure official payment page for Foster Champs of Washington. Choose your ticket and quantity there.
Rather not pay online? No problem. Send this form instead and the committee will hold your seats and sort out payment with you.
The committee will confirm your reservation and payment details as the event finalizes.
Tickets are sold through Givebutter, Foster Champs of Washington's secure payment page.
Every tier puts your name behind a room full of families who need it. Choose the level that fits your business.
The committee will be in touch to confirm your tier and get your logo on the gala site.
The gala is one night. The Village Circle is the rest of the year: a monthly giving program that stands with local foster, adoptive, and kinship families every single month. Pick a level, or choose your own amount.
Pick "monthly" at checkout to join the Circle, or give once. Any amount helps.
Questions about the Circle? Email wafosterchamps@gmail.com and the committee will get you set up.
Not every gift fits a tier. Here is every way to put your name behind the night.
"Champions empowering families with the help of our communities."
Foster Champs of Washington is dedicated to empowering families and at-risk youth by bridging the gap between what the system provides and what families truly need. Whether through special events, community dinners, or meaningful connections, we help kids build lasting memories with their siblings. Family isn't just about where you come from, it's about who stands beside you. Foster, adoptive, kinship, or otherwise, every family has a place here.
This work started in 2007 as Foster Champs of Maple Valley, and in 2024 it was re-established as Foster Champs of Washington to reach even more families. Nineteen years later, the gala comes home to Maple Valley, where it all began.
A room full of families does not come together on its own. Here are the folks putting in the hours to make October 3 happen.
There's a way to help even if you're not in the room that night.
The committee will follow up with drop-off or day-of details.
