Together, we raised an astonishing $1.4 million, making it the most successful Beer & Bites in our history and providing vital support for cancer research and clinical trials right here in the South Sound.

Fueled by heart, hope, and community spirit, we gathered to eat, drink, bid, and uplift one another—reminded once again why this night means so much. Read on for highlights from this truly incredible evening!
