Join us for the 2025 Sporting Clay Shoot—a thrilling fundraising tournament dedicated to supporting Scouting America. This exciting event aims to benefit youth programs in our community, with all proceeds going directly to Scouting initiatives.

Participants will enjoy an unforgettable day that includes a player’s gift, access to 15 diverse shooting stations with targets tailored for all skill levels—beginner, intermediate, and expert. Plus, we’ll provide lunch and beverages to keep you fueled throughout the day, followed by a Scouting program that highlights the incredible impact of Scouting in our area. Don’t miss this opportunity to shoot for a cause!

Scouting continues to play a vital role in today’s society by providing young people with numerous opportunities for physical activity and outdoor exploration.

Participating in Scouting goes beyond being just an extracurricular activity; it fosters connections with nature, family, and peers. Scouts enjoy a safe and supportive environment where they learn essential life skills that are often overlooked in traditional education. These skills encompass a range of areas, including health and wellness, leadership development, career readiness, innovative thinking, learning strategies, and financial literacy.

By focusing on these critical competencies, Scouting empowers youth to grow into responsible individuals, effective leaders, adventurous explorers, and compassionate citizens. Overall, Scouting offers a transformative journey that enriches the lives of young people and prepares them for future challenges.

Join us October 25, 2025 at the Historic Davenport Hotel for a spine-chilling evening supporting Elevations, a children's resource therapy foundation. At this years' Ghost Ball - A Haunted Hotel, we've curated a vibe that will transport you to a night of eerie elegance. Your ticket includes a welcome reception, exquisite dinner, dessert dash, thrilling live and silent auctions, and a heartwarming paddle raise—all culminating with a dance party to celebrate the impact of your generosity. Every dollar raised supports the work of Elevations to help Spokane’s special needs children grow and thrive.

Last year, Vytal Movement Dance, a non-profit 501c-3 arts organization, hosted our 2nd annual fundraising event, Illuminate: A Dance Gala where we raised over $12,000 to increase access to professional dance and dance education in the Inland Northwest. After an incredible show of support at our first two galas, we are thrilled to be hosting our third annual event. We are aiming high and hoping to raise a significant amount of funds to further our mission. This year’s Illuminate: A Dance Gala will be held in our home space in downtown Spokane on the evening of November 1, 2025. The night will include dinner, drinks, live dance performance, a virtual silent auction, live auction, paddle raise, and more!

All funds raised during this elegant event and will be used to foster the creation, experimentation, and development of dance education, performance opportunities, and new artistic projects. Additionally, contributions from the night allow Vytal Movement Dance to collaborate with guest choreographers, performers, musicians, and other artists and to present concert dance to our Inland Northwest audiences on a larger scale and more frequent basis. Your attendance, participation, and generosity directly contribute to and propel the growth of the arts in our community!
