Every year at this time we hold our Member Showcase. This event brings us together not only to network, but also to spotlight and support a worthy cause in our community. Though this year has brought on unique challenges, we still plan to hold the Showcase. Please join us to support this cause in whatever way you are able.

The Cause - Help a Member’s Wife Beat Brain Cancer
Austin Neufeld has been a long-time member of Whatcom YP. His wife Mikayla was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in March of this year. Funds collected from the Showcase will go to help with medical and travel expenses, as well as to make life more comfortable for Mikayla, Austin, and their two boys during this time. You can read more about Mikayla’s story here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-mikayla-beat-brain-cancer

The Format - Online Auction or Donation
We will be holding an online auction for items you choose to donate. These donations show off who you are and your passions via an item or package representing you and/or your business! We understand that these are challenging times and while donations can still be in this format, perhaps you would like to donate an hour of your time in a particular skill, or other creative offering that someone in the membership may find valuable. We are also adding the option of making a cash donation of ANY amount!
