Spinal-cord foundation sets fundraiser

The Michael Ryan Pattison Foundation is hosting its 5th annual fundraising auction on Saturday, October 10 at the Bellevue Hyatt Hotel Grand Ballroom. Tickets are $150 each.

Pattison is the young man from Woodinville High School who five years ago dove into Lake Chelan and suffered a major spinal-chord injury and became a quadriplegic. Many news stations followed his story over the years.

Since the accident, he has devoted his life to building awareness for spinal-chord injuries and people suffering with paralysis. The foundation’s mission is to heal the body, mind and spirit with a state of the art rehab center in Seattle.

Tickets can be purchased or donations made at www.acureiscoming.com.
