Initiatives
Three initiatives. One rule.
Every project we produce serves the cause or produces the work that serves the cause. Here's what we're building.
The annual black-tie benefit for the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business.
The Aurora Gala is the reason Leadership Achievement exists. It's a volunteer-produced evening that raises meaningful capital for the students, faculty, and programs that make UW Foster's Buerk Center a launchpad for founders. Every dollar raised goes to the Buerk Center or to the production of the event — nothing else.
