Presidents’ Letter
Welcome to the 2015 Festival of Trees Gala. This event is a combined effort of the Dr. Forrest Flashman Guild and the Autism Center Guild. Proceeds generated
from the events are shared between the two guilds equally.
The Autism Center Guild proceeds from the 2014 Festival of Trees Gala were directed toward the highest needs experienced by the Autism Center. The impact of
your giving included advances in research and early intervention, innovative technology applications and supportive family resources. The Autism Center served
4,387 patients over 18,688 visits this year!

The Dr. Forrest Flashman Guild contribute all of their proceeds to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s. Each year, more than 125,000 children come
to Seattle Children’s in need of expert care. In 2014, Children’s provided $120.5 million in uncompensated care to families who need assistance with their medical bills –
and who were able to focus on their child’s health, rather the the burden of medical bills. We hear all year long from parents who are grateful for the uncompensated
care their child received.
The motto of the Autism Center Guild is “volunteer-fundraise-celebrate” and in 2015 they did just that. Members helped the Autism Center by hosting an Autism
Awareness Social, providing provisions to staff who perform over 100 diagnoses in just one “Blitz Week,” and practicing trick-or-treating with children on the autism
spectrum before Halloween. Other members provided strategic input on the goals for the year, managed financial statements and procured items and experiences
for the auction. If you’d like to become a member of the Autism Center Guild you can join tonight. We are seeking board members, too!
The Festival of Trees was created by the Dr. Forrest Flashman Guild some 38 years ago. For the past 3 years they have partnered with the Autism Center Guild to
create a weekend long celebration, with the Gala-Auction on Saturday and the Celebration and Boutique on Sunday. From November 21st through December
2nd these beautiful trees will be on display at the Fairmont Olympic and paired with a patient from Children’s Hospital, allowing all visitors to share the courageous
stories of these children. The Flashman Guild members, with help from Autism Center Guild members, work all year long, designing and decorating the trees,
creating boutique items and procuring auction items.
Many thanks go to the Co-Chairwomen Julie O’Brien of the Autism Center Guild and Linda Mullin of the Dr. Forrest Flashman Guild, who have organized and
designed this year’s fabulous Gala experience and After Party. Tomorrow, invite your friends and family to the Festival of Trees Celebration, shop with the kids at
the Children’s Corner, enjoy the gift boutique, visit the Teddy Bear Suite, meet Santa, eat cookies, and listen to a festive choir. We’ll be posting shots from all the
weekend’s events on the Autism Center Guild Facebook page.
We truly appreciate your support and cannot wait to see the amazing impact that your generosity will have on the lives of children of Seattle Children’s Hospital!

About the Autism Center
In August 2009, Seattle Children’s opened its Autism Center to provide comprehensive and timely services to
autism patients. The Center is programmed to provide a full range of family-based care from early childhood
through young adulthood (birth to 21 years old). The Center is able to draw on the medical research expertise
of a nationally recognized children’s hospital, while also providing necessary treatment, family support and
therapy options tailored to address the evolving personal needs of each patient served.
K
About Uncompensated Care
Seattle Children’s provided $120.5 million in uncompensated care in 2014, an increase of approximately
$3.5 million from 2013. The fundraising efforts of Guilds is a vital source of uncompensated care contributions,
helping keep its founding promise to the community – caring for children in our region regardless of ability to pay.

Steve Zakuani was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, moving to London when
he was four years old. His soccer career started early in life playing for the Arsenal youth
academy in London for five years, then attending the University of Akron on a soccer
scholarship. In 2009, Zakuani’s professional soccer career began with the Seattle
Sounders FC. He was drafted by the Major League Soccer expansion club as the first pick
of the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. In six years as a professional, he made
well over 100 appearances in MLS but his career
was cut short due to injury.
Since retiring from soccer, Steve has stayed involved
in the game through coaching individuals and

running soccer clinics. As active as he was on the
2015

field during his career, Steve is just as active off it.
"Honoring compassion and commitment
to aiding and supporting those in need."
He founded Kingdom Hope in 2010, a nonprofit whose programs inspire individuals
Festival of Trees
to develop their talents and become leaders. He is also a prolific public speaker and
has spoken to churches, businesses, sports teams, community groups, high schools,
and universities on topics such as leadership, goal setting, teamwork, and overcoming
adversity. Steve’s first book, 500 Days was released in January 2015 and it chronicles
his return from a career-threatening injury to the field. When he isn’t coaching,
speaking, or writing, Steve likes to travel, watch movies, and read books.

CY
CMY
K
Jason Stahl was born in Port Townsend in 1969. After graduation from Port Townsend High School he made his living
as an industrial welder. He also started and ran a demolition company. A work-related back injury resulting in several
spinal surgeries turned Jason’s thoughts toward deeper issues. Around this time he met renowned sculptor Tom Jay,
who began mentoring Jason on life and art.
Tom helped Jason learn how to have humility, look at his art from a fresh perspective, and respond better to criticism
and other life challenges. At one point, Jason spent five days straight in Tom’s studio, working on a sculpture during
the day and sleeping on a cot at night. Tom and Jason are currently working together for the first time, putting Tom’s
50 years’ of experience into a bronze Seahawks head.
Jason does his best work when in a state of compassion and love.
His subjects include traditional sailing vessels of many cultures
and, more recently, finely wrought metal flowers of various
species. Jason credits art with changing the direction of his
life towards expressing the wonders of nature and capturing
the striking forms of maritime history in metal.
