What We Do

Echelon Seattle works to create/customize their own events as well as participate in the following:

Donations & Fundraising

The Red Kettle Luncheon: held annually in April, this event celebrates community leaders who are making a difference
    
Bell Ringing: an opportunity for Echelon members to collect donations in their community for The Salvation Army's
annual Red Kettle Campaign

Service & Volunteering

The opportunities are endless! Our volunteers are the army behind "The Army." Echelon members work directly with those The Salvation Army services by preparing hot meals for the hungry, preparing hygiene kits for shelter residents,  projects for at-risk youth, holiday toy distribution events, National Donut Day events, and more!

Networking

Members engage with other young professionals as well as local CEOs or executives who are willing to share their professional and philanthropic journeys.
