The Auburn-based See Ya Later Foundation held its first annual golf tournament and dinner auction on Sept. 12 at Indian Summer Country Club in Olympia. About 100 golfers and 150 dinner guests attended the event and helped to raise money for local families that are in medical crisis.

The foundation was able to raise more than $31,000 through donations and auction sales.

See Ya Later would like to thank the local business sponsors that contributed to a successful event: IKEA; Nelson's Jewelry; Doxon Toyota; Valley Buick/GMC; Tom Matson Dodge; Red Robin; Simply Smiles; Burke Law Offices; Detlef Schrempf Foundation; Law Offices of James Newton; The Rock-Wood Fired Pizza; Sliderule Engineering Works LLC; Kodiak Lodge; Pierce County Crime Stoppers; Alaska Airlines; All Purpose Collision; Quality Fence Builders; Auburn Vehicle Licensing; Columbia Bank; and McPherson Law Offices.

We could not be successful without the donations and support from all of our SYL partners. We encourage people to support those who support us, for it is these companies that are looking to make an impact in their community.
