Celebrity Waiters Luncheon was established in 1984, the organization’s mission; to serve the Puget Sound area by raising funds annually for a local charitable organization in the areas of Education, Health, Human Services and Children/Youth. Their objective was to create a unique and innovative lunchtime auction comprised with key business and community leaders. Guests are invited to sit at their table and are waited on by their Celebrity Waiter host. This inventive formula has made Celebrity Waiters Luncheon one of the most successful daytime Seattle auctions for over 40 years.
