The FUSION Art Event is in its 17th year. It is always a popular social event in Federal Way, attracting over 800 attendees. Come join us for a spectacular Tuscan evening filled with Italian inspired entertainment, Tuscan food from the Metropolitan Market, exciting silent and live auction items and fabulous creations from many well-known Northwest artists.
FUSION’s mission is to break the cycle of homelessness, poverty and abuse. Our hope is to successfully reintegrate families into the community through education, life skills development and building self-esteem. This event will generate funds to help FUSION provide case management services, unit maintenance and HOA dues for our 15 homes.

Friends of FUSION Open House was held on April 29, 2010, at the St. Francis Medical Office Building. We had approximately 40 in attendance. It was a successful informative evening filled with presentations on the different ways volunteers can get involved.
A big thank you to all who assisted.

Look For a New FUSION Website Soon
FUSION is getting a new look! We are in the process of designing a new website. The layout is underway and we are very busy adding content. We thought you might like to share the excitement by seeing a draft preview of our new "store front." (Disregard filler text; all pages are being newly written before final launch.) Many thanks to all our volunteers who have worked tirelessly on the new design.
