Seattle Twestival a huge success…

Last night’s Twestival in Seattle was a huge success – raising $10,000 total for Concern Worldwide. The total donations, counting in-kind, the Seattle community made to support Twestival Global was more than $16,000! Wow. Pelago is so proud to be a member of this amazing local group of businesses and social media fanatics who work so hard to support charitable causes.

Seattle Twestival was held at Emerald City Trapeze, who graciously allowed all attendees swing on the trapeze for free – how fun is that. The evening included apps from Elegant Gourmet Catering, drinks from Fremont Brewery (perfect candidates for our free merchant program ;), Hansen’s soda and Magnificent Wine Company, and stellar ribbon and trapeze performances.

Thanks to all the great Seattle peeps who helped pull the event together – Karianne Stinson, Jeff Shuey, Shauna Causey and more. Here are some of my fav pics from the night:

Thank you Seattle for being part of the Whrrl and Twestival Community!
