We’re not kidding when we say Night Out for Caring is the party of the season. A party with a purpose, even (i.e., have fun while helping local kids)! There’s something for everyone, so we broke it down to explain why this is #SeattlesNightOut.

1. Celeb sightings
Seattle is full of famous folk who love to do good! Hawks fan? Sidney Rice and Jordan Babineaux will there! So will Former Sounders Taylor Graham and Roger Levesque! And New York Times bestselling author Garth Stein! Mariners Hall of Famer Dan Wilson will be on hand too! Check them out in the Celeb Sprint for Kids—a hilarious relay that will raise money to help kids graduate.

2. Support a good cause
When kids are read to at home, they develop stronger reading skills and are more likely to do well in school. But many families to have many—or any—children’s books in the home. Learn about how you can help, including buying a book for a family in our pop-up bookshop!

3. Free food
Why pick between burgers and pizza? With free noshes from Ballard Pizza Company, Dynamite Chicken and Great State Burger, the food is worth the price of admission alone.

4. Macklemore’s Cadillac
Talk about Instagram-worthy! Macklemore is loaning us his Caddy for a karaoke party! Warm up those pipes for an epic “White Walls” singalong.
