I ♥ UW Bothell Luncheon


The I ♥ UW Bothell Luncheon is set for November 19, 2025! This beloved annual fundraising event is the perfect opportunity to gather in support of our remarkable students and campus. 

We hope you can join us on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue as we bring together the vibrant community of UW Bothell alumni, champions, partners and friends. We will celebrate our unique campus, share the impact of our inspiring students and build momentum for UW Bothell — the opportunities we have today plus all those that lie ahead. 

It’s going to be a lunchtime party for good, and everyone is invited to be part of it. 

While there is no cost to attend, we do ask attendees to consider making a minimum suggested donation of $150+ at the event to support UW Bothell students. This is one way you can help make an excellent UW education possible for all.  


If luncheons aren’t your thing or if getting to Bellevue on a Wednesday isn’t possible, please consider joining our
I ❤ UW Bothell fundraiser by making a donation online. All gifts made before Nov. 19 will be recognized during the event and will help spread a whole lot of love!
