Evening of Hope - Seattle Hotel Association
The Seattle Hotel Association’s “Evening of Hope” Eleventh Annual Gala Dinner and Auction Presenting Sponsor: 2008 Honorees Jeff and Tricia Raikes Beneficiary Plymouth Housing Group Platinum Sponsor: February 9, 2008 Fashion Sponsor: The Fairmont Olympic Hotel Welcome to the 11th annual “Evening of Hope.” Our 53 member hotels have made this event one of the premier events of the local fund raisers and it showcases the level of generosity of each member hotel. Part of our purpose is to create a favorable climate that promotes the economic well being of the hospitality industry in Seattle as well as the community at large. Through this event we accomplish this goal while giving back to our community. We also recognize the support of our presenting sponsors: WAMU, Microsoft, MaxMara and others. Without the support of our local business community this event would not be possible. Ten years ago, with the initial support of the Northwest AIDS Foundation, we created an event to benefit local charities with the mission to make an impact in the lives of people in and around Seattle. We think we have accomplished this over the last ten years and we continue our mission with the support tonight of Plymouth Housing Group and the much larger goal to end homelessness in Seattle. In this effort we join with the City of Seattle, King County and our honorees Jeff and Tricia Raikes, who over the years have made numerous contributions through their work with United Way of King County, King County Boys and Girls Club and their partnership with tonight’s beneficiary, Plymouth Housing Group. We trust you will all enjoy this evening and look forward to your continued generosity by raising your bid paddle throughout the night. We appreciate your support in our mission to help Seattle’s homeless each find a warm and safe place to call their own, It is always nice to come home.

As such, for the second year in a row, it has been a pleasure to work with Plymouth Housing Group (PHG) as this year’s “Evening of Hope” recipient. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported “Evening of Hope.” You have ultimately raised awareness and funds for an issue that has an impact on the whole society and supports PHG’s mission - to move people directly out of homelessness and address long-term housing issues in Seattle. Tonight, we recognize Jeff and Tricia Raikes for their philanthropic efforts and their dedication to ending the cycle of homelessness. The Raikes have shown tremendous passion for the community and we are proud to celebrate their achievements and contributions. Together with Seattle Hotel Association members and volunteers and the work of many dedicated people like the Raikes, I would also like to thank “Evening of Hope” Gala co-chairs, Dan Spurgeon, General Manager of the Executive Hotel Pacific and René Neidhart, General Manager of the Renaissance Seattle Hotel. It is my privilege to be associated with such inspired individuals who have created the vision for how our association could help our downtown community. The partnerships and friendships cultivated at “Evening of Hope” have grown over the years. The success of the gala is due to the hard work and dedication of people like you—our partners, friends, donors, sponsors, volunteers and attendees who come together to make this evening possible. On behalf of the Seattle Hotel Association, we thank you for helping to strengthen our community through events such as these and look forward to celebrating another successful gala.

This is a deeply generous gift that is very much appreciated by the entire Plymouth staff and Board of Trustees. Plymouth Housing Group and the Seattle Hotel Association have much in common. We are both committed to making Seattle a thriving environment for business development and tourism. And we both know that strong business and community partnerships like ours both improve the quality of life for our most vulnerable populations and make Seattle a great place to live and work, and especially to visit. In the fall of 2007, Plymouth successfully completed our $52 million Building Hope Capital Campaign to add 300 units of supportive housing in new or renovated buildings throughout the Seattle downtown core. Plymouth buildings anchor and revitalize the neighborhoods around them, support thriving businesses in street-level retail spaces, and preserve historic buildings, many of them former hotels. For more than 25 years, Plymouth Housing Group has provided affordable housing for homeless and very low income individuals, and tonight’s proceeds from the “Evening of Hope” will help Plymouth provide the necessary support services to help residents regain their dignity and live independently. Tonight Plymouth Housing Group is pleased to honor two individuals who’ve made a personal commitment to ending homelessness in our community, Tricia and Jeff Raikes. Their philanthropic leadership in our city is unparalleled. Whether it is through their support for such organizations as United Way (they were the 2006-07 co-chairs of the most successful King County United Way Community Campaign ever), Boys and Girls Clubs of King County, or through support from their family foundation, Tricia and Jeff have stepped up to change our community for the better. Their passionate desire to end homelessness is evident in their personal actions—last September, they joined Plymouth staff and tenants on the United Way Day of Caring helping us beautify one of our older buildings, The Pacific. The Raikes’ personal involvement means a lot to me and the rest of Plymouth Housing Group, and I’m very pleased to have the opportunity tonight to show our appreciation for their leadership and generosity. Speaking for all of us at Plymouth, I want to thank you for your support tonight of the goal of ending homelessness in our community. I hope you enjoy this wonderful “Evening of Hope” put on by the Seattle Hotel Association! Sincerely, Paul Lambros, Executive Director Plymouth Housing Group Plymouth Housing Group works to eliminate homelessness and stabilize homeless and very low-income people in housing by preserving, developing and operating safe, decent, affordable housing, and by providing opportunities for homeless and very-lowincome people to improve their lives. In recent years, the Seattle area has experienced strong economic prosperity—a positive trend with a negative downside. Rising rents and housing prices means that affordable housing is out of reach for a growing number of people in our community. Almost 8,000 people do not have a place to sleep each night in Seattle, many of them with complicated special needs such as chemical dependency, disabilities, AIDS, or the disabling effects of old age. Plymouth Housing Group (PHG) serves those most in need with our unique model of permanent, supportive housing. Thanks to the generous support of our community and many of you here tonight, PHG just completed a successful $52 million Building Hope Capital Campaign, renovating three historic buildings and building one new apartment building. Today, PHG owns and manages 13 buildings in or near downtown Seattle that provide safe, decent, affordable apartments for close to 1,000 tenants. Our brand new Langdon and Anne Simons Senior Apartments at 3rd and Blanchard accommodates 92 seniors and armed services veterans who need specially-equipped apartments and support services. PHG realizes that providing housing alone does not end homelessness. Many homeless people need much more than a roof over their heads—they need medical care, mental health counseling, chemical dependency services, and life skills coaching. PHG’s Housing Case Managers assist tenants as they make their transition from homelessness to permanent housing and provide opportunities for tenant skill development, employment, and community connections. Plymouth’s supportive housing costs less than $11,000 a year per tenant in contrast to studies that show that a chronically homeless person uses up to $50,000 a year in emergency services. Our successful housing model benefits more that just our tenants— by operating well-maintained buildings with successful commercial tenants, Plymouth helps create a vibrant business environment in downtown Seattle. PHG is also committed to historical preservation—we have saved many significant Seattle buildings from being demolished, including several historic hotels, and given them new life as homes for our most vulnerable citizens. Supporting Plymouth Housing Group shows you believe that everyone deserves a safe place to call home. We appreciate your support for our mission and our vision to end homelessness in our community. Potential is Everywhere Sometimes you just need the resources to discover it. www.microsoft.com/citizenship Microsoft is proud to support this year’s “Evening of Hope” Gala honoring Jeff and Tricia Raikes and benefitting Plymouth Housing Group for their ongoing community leadership and commitment to end homelessness in King County. On behalf of Microsoft and our over 35,000 Puget Sound-based employees and their families, congratulations Jeff and Tricia and thank you PHG! Your potential. Our passion.
