Snohomish Education Foundation raises the bar for student success, raising over $256,000 at Annual Auction!
“This community continues to inspire me with its generosity and support of our schools! The 2022 SEF auction was a huge success. With 340 guests, it was our largest turnout ever to celebrate the students, teachers and staff of the Snohomish School District,” said Keely Reinhard, SEF Board President and Auction Committee Co-Chair.

The Snohomish Education Foundation Annual Auction was held recently at the Tulalip Resort Casino Orca Ballroom. This festive and fun event benefited student programs in the Snohomish School District. Students from the Snohomish High School Drumline led by Band Director, Jordan Johnson, kicked off the evening on a high-energy note. Snohomish School District Superintendent Kent Kultgen gave an inspiring message about the importance of education and great teachers. Kultgen was followed by words of wisdom from longtime Snohomish High School Science teacher, Tony Stapleton, a recipient of previous SEF Classroom Grants.
“It was an exciting and fun night where our community came together not only to experience an elegant evening, but to “Light up the Future!” Through the generosity of our sponsors and guests, over $256,000 was raised to support classroom grants, scholarships and special programs that enhance the education of each student in our district,” said Reinhard.
Included in this year’s fundraising totals was over $75,000 raised specifically for classroom grants that will be distributed to teachers and staff in K-12 classrooms throughout the Snohomish School District.
“On behalf of the Snohomish Education Foundation board of trustees, I would like to thank everyone who donated auction items, participated in the auction and sponsors this foundation. We are humbled and inspired by the members of our community who support our work to expand opportunities for the students of Snohomish,” said Reinhard.
