Celebrate Bush 2023: Come As You Are

Celebrate Bush is our annual K-12 community celebration and fundraiser for financial aid. Every year, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and grandparents come together in support of our community and to increase accessibility to an experiential education at Bush. 
 
We look forward to your attendance on Saturday, March 4 for Celebrate Bush: Come As You Are. Celebrate Bush is an in-person gala that inspires community, connection, and commitment to our mission, and we are grateful to everyone who has and will participate as a sponsor, volunteer, attendee, or donor. This year’s theme, “Come As You Are,” is not only an encouragement for guests to show up as their true selves, but is also an appreciation of the Seattle grunge era and mid ‘90s music scene.

Questions? Contact Events and Volunteer Manager Nadia Jessa.
