We are thrilled to invite you to our annual fundraising event, Bridging Horizons 2025. This year's signature event will be hosted at Vickery Gardens from 3:30pm - 7:00pm. Join us for an evening of community, artistry demonstrations, hors d'eauvers and drinks, laughter, and impact. We could think of no better place to reflect, dream, and celebrate the work that has been done and that we have yet to do than Vickery Gardens. There, surrounded by Douglas Firs, fruit trees, and nestled in a suburban oasis, each natural element conveys an aspect of the work staff, volunteers, mentors, and supporters have worked tirelessly to promote and see prosper. 

• Douglas Firs: a boat wright's favorite building material
• Fruit trees: multi-cultural symbols of new birth, prosperity, and knowledge
• Suburban oasis: the location is set deep in the heart of our program's reach, which grows with each passing week.

Over the past 11 years, Tacoma Boat Builders has created programming that uses an empathy-driven, competency-based approach to create a safe and inclusive space where youth can build positive relationships, advocate for themselves, and achieve their potential. Not only do we work closely with local juvenile justice agencies and community organizations, but in late 2024, we expanded our program opportunities to include a third day for any youth who wants to be here, whether they are alumni of a previous program or a referral from another org.
