    The 2007 Seattle Seahawks’ season stopped short of the Super Bowl, but the ‘Hawks are champs to the local organizations they support through the Seattle Seahawks Spirit of 12 Partners Program, including Treehouse.

    The program allows Treehouse volunteers to distribute Gameday programs at selected Seahawks home games and keep the proceeds. In addition, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation matches every dollar raised. During the regular 2007 season, nearly 200 Treehouse volunteers distributed more than 6,000 Gameday programs, raising nearly $64,500!

    Treehouse has been a partner since the program’s inception four years ago, and has raised more than $250,000 through the Spirit of 12 Partners Program.

    Since 2004, the Seattle Seahawks Spirit of 12 Partners Program has harnessed the power of more than 4,000 volunteers to raise more than $1.1 million for its community partners. That’s a record to make any team proud!
