Thank you to everyone who joined us for the King County Employee Giving Program Annual Giving Drive (AGD) Celebration on Thursday, Feb. 26. The gathering brought together enthusiastic colleagues from across the county as we recognized the outstanding Ambassador teams who championed the 2025 AGD. Nearly 150 employees attended the celebration on the 13th floor of the Chinook Building, creating a warm and energetic atmosphere.

Employees across King County participated in the campaign, helping make the 2025 AGD a record-breaking success with $2.53 million raised to support nonprofits doing vital work in our communities.

“Intentionally gathering to celebrate our employees’ hard work is so important, especially in a program that has become such a cherished community tradition. Year after year, our people show what it looks like to come together with purpose, joy, and care; and the celebration is a beautiful reminder of that,” says Junelle Kroontje, Employee Social Impact & Well-being Manager. Read more.
