An Evening to Remember Mike Wang

Palace Ballroom
Seattle, WA


Please join us for an evening to remember our colleague, friend, and fellow cyclist: Mike Wang.  We lost Mike on July 28, 2011, when he was struck and killed by a vehicle while riding his bicycle home from work that day.

Mike was an exceptional photographer whose work has touched the lives of so many of us.  On this night, we will feature several of his pieces in a silent auction to raise money for a college fund for his children, Sylvie (age 10) and Walter (age 12).

Additionally, the evening will include remarks from Washington State Representative Eric Pettigrew and PATH Leadership.  Local radio personality and friend of Mike's family, Cathy Sorbo, will emcee the evening.

Your $50 ticket gets you:
  -Admission to the event at Palace Ballroom
  -Family-style dinner from Tom Douglas Catering
  -1-2 glasses of wine from local wine cellars*
  -A chance to win a fabulous door prize
  *Additional beverages will be available at a cash bar

Program:
  -Cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and silent auction begin at 6:00pm
  -Silent auction closes at 7:30pm
  -Family style dinner begins at 7:30pm
  -Remarks from guest speakers at approximately 7:45pm
  -Auction winners posted at approximately 8:30pm
