MIAS Golf & Bowling Recap

Here are pictures from the day:

Annual Dessert Dash

It's that time again for the ANNUAL DESSERT DASH at this year's Annual Golf & Bowling Banquet on Monday, June 6, 2022!

We need at least 10 volunteers to make or buy a dessert that will serve 8 – 10 people.

Desserts will be “auctioned” off at the banquet following the MIAS Golf & Bowling event. 100% of the funds raised from the Dessert Dash directly support the MIAS Annual Scholarship Fund.

The generous donations received in past years have contributed over $2,000 toward the Scholarship Fund allowing three scholarships to be presented at the time of the MIAS Annual Banquet.

How the Dessert Dash Works:

1. Each table will be numbered and will have an envelope to record and collect donations.

2. Each guest at the table guest writes in their name and the amount they would like to donate. Checks can be made payable to the Marine Insurance Association of Seattle. Credit Card forms will also be available. Donation receipts will be provided.

3. Total the amounts donated and place donations in the envelope provided for the table.

4. Designate a person from your table to be the “Dessert Dasher”!

5. The tables will then be called in order from the highest total amount donated.

6. When your table number is called, dash to the dessert table and choose the dessert of your choice!

If you would like to volunteer to donate a delicious dessert, please contact: Jessica Graves, Newfront Insurance - jessica.graves@newfront.com or (724) 344-9800.
