Summer at Tavon: A Season to Celebrate
What a year it’s been so far at Tavon! Our annual fundraiser on April 12 was a night to remember—full of laughter, connection, and generosity. Huge thanks to everyone who came out, donated, and helped make it such a special evening. Shoutout to our amazing auctioneer Matt Lorch and emcee Seth Andersson for keeping the energy high! We’re already looking forward to next year’s gala on May 8, 2026. On top of that, we’ve got great news from Olympia: the state budget now includes increased funding for respite, community engagement, and life skills programs. It’s a big win for our members and the services that support them.

Program Highlights: Growth, Joy, and Adventure
Our Black Nugget Program is buzzing with activity! Program Manager Brianna Dreifus is leading the charge with themed monthly adventures that get everyone outside, learning, and connecting with the community. Whether it’s nature walks or art projects, there’s always something exciting happening. Over in Life Skills, members have been making awesome progress with our peer coaches—learning how to manage emotions, build independence, and connect with others in meaningful ways. These programs are all about helping our members grow and thrive.

New Faces & Fun Events Ahead
We’re thrilled to welcome several new members including Kenya, who brings tons of energy and joy to Black Nugget. New staff members Casey, Halsey, and Anika are already making a big impact. We also want to give a big thank-you to volunteer Kolby Muranaka, who brings so much heart to our community every week. Looking for something fun to do? Join us at the Community Picnic on July 26 for garden strolls, great food, and good company.
