In addition to the festivities, Reunion on Union serves as a platform to engage with ACLT's ongoing efforts to support the community. Attendees can learn about affordable home ownership programs and upcoming initiatives designed to preserve and strengthen the Black community in Seattle's Central District.
The event is made possible through the generous support of sponsors, including Title Sponsor Wells Fargo and Presenting Sponsors KeyBank and GGLO Design.
