Thank you to all who have supported the PONCHO Gala over the years. In an effort to focus more on our core mission, the Gala will be taking an indefinite recess.

Please continue supporting the arts by attending the PONCHO 19th Annual International Wine Auction, May 22, 2010 at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel and the PONCHO 9th Annual Invitational Fine Art Auction in Fall of 2010.

Thank you to all who have supported the PONCHO Gala over the years -- your attendance, donations, countless volunteer hours, and generous participation have collectively contributed to over $34-million in grants to more than 200 arts organizations during the past 47 years. Looking forward, the PONCHO Gala will be taking an indefinite artistic recess so that we can concentrate our efforts on PONCHO's core purpose of raising funds for the arts.

As we work to enrich the quality of life in our region through increasing resources and community support for the arts, we welcome your continued involvement. Thank you for all you're doing to enrich and support the cultural life in this region.
