I ♥ UW Bothell Luncheon

Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026 | 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Meydenbauer Center, Bellevue

Join us for the I ❤ UW Bothell Luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue as we gather alumni, community leaders, advocates for education and friends of UW Bothell united by a shared goal: raising scholarship support for UW Bothell students.  

Arrive early for the Student Showcase to explore student work, experience the creativity and innovation of UW Bothell firsthand and connect with professionals and community leaders from across the region. 

As Washington’s No. 1 regional university, UW Bothell prepares graduates who stay, work and thrive here. When hundreds of people come together to give what they can, students gain access to a life-changing UW education. 

While there is no cost to attend, during the luncheon guests will be invited to make a gift to support student scholarships. A minimum contribution of $150 is suggested. This is one way you can help make an excellent UW education possible for all.
