PONCHO is dedicated to enriching the quality of life in this region through increasing resources and community support for the arts.

Description:
PONCHO funds and supports arts organizations in the Puget Sound region by producing and operating auctions and through direct funding by donors. Our next ART AUCTION will be in the fall 2009; the next WINE AUCTION will be in the spring of 2010. We also host or sponsor other events throughout the year, with volunteer opportunities. PONCHO's success rests on the efforts of countless donors, patrons and volunteers. Their passion and generous spirit infuse the events and campaigns with excitement and continually bring new members to participate in and enjoy our annual fund raising events.

History:
Since 1962, PONCHO has raised over $34 million dollars for the arts. In 1997, the PONCHO Arts Education Fund was founded in response to the decline of in-school arts curriculum. In 2001, the formation of the PONCHO Foundation was announced. The Foundation is dedicated to generating increased resources and community support for the arts and is set up to receive bequests, memorials and other planned gifts of assets not intended for the annual PONCHO auctions.
