More Than $40k Donated to Fund for Those in Need

Celebrating 22 Years of Partnership

Every Christmas Shipâ„¢ Festival, we partner with The Seattle Times to benefit its charity Fund for Those in Need, a non-profit which raises funds for 12 Puget Sound non-profit organizations like Child Haven, Treehouse, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

This year, Christmas Shipâ„¢ guests helped donate…

  • A portion of ticket and beverage sales ($35,474)
  • 100% raffle proceeds ($5,400)
  • Parade of Boats direct donations ($1,150)

Today, we gave the president of The Seattle Times, Alan Fisco, a record-breaking check for $40,875.

Since starting the partnership in 1996, Argosy has donated $660,689‬.
