Every gift of $300 and more will be matched by our generous Luncheon Challenge Donors and donors at that level receive a free and signed copy of Brain Rules for Baby.

Host a Table and be our Stars...
Email us at luncheon@peps.org and let us know if you would like to host a half table (you and 4 guests) or a full table (you and 9 guests).
Table Hosts are the heart and soul of our Lunch and our goal is to make it as easy for Table Hosts as possible to host their friends, PEPS Group members, colleagues, family members, neighbors!

Join us as a Guest...
We have reached the maximum capacity for our Luncheon and guest registration is closed at this point.
Contact us at luncheon@peps.org with any questions or inquiries.
Note: if you have been invited by a table host to come to the luncheon you do NOT have to register here. Your table host will reserve your seat for you.
Join us as a Challenge Investor...
The Luncheon Challenge is a way to multiply your gift by encouraging others to give generously: Gifts of $500 and more contributed/pledged to our Luncheon Challenge before March 2nd will encourage Luncheon guests to give generously as the intent of the Challenge is to match each Luncheon gift of $300 and above (up to the contributed Luncheon Challenge amount). In 2010, the motivating force of the Luncheon Challenge encouraged 41% of the guests to give a gift at or above $250 helping us reach and exceed our Benefit Luncheon goal.
Luncheon Challenge Donors will be recognized during our program and mentioned in our written event program. Luncheon Challenge Donors may choose to remain anonymous.

THANK YOU, 2010 PEPS Luncheon Table Captains, Luncheon Guests and Event Sponsors!
With your help we were able to raise more than $100,000 through our 12th Annual PEPS Benefit Lunch on March 4, 2010 at Fisher Pavilion!
This tremendous show of support, will help PEPS...
... make sure that NO PARENT WILL BE TURNED AWAY from a PEPS program because they can’t afford it. In this recession, PEPS is receiving many more scholarship requests from parents.
... create more and more PEPS Groups in King and Snohomish Counties.
The PEPS Benefit Lunch reminded us what incredibly important work PEPS does in our community and that educational based peer support is one of the most simple, cost effective and efficient parent wellness models for parents.

Remember when you were in a PEPS Group- likely exhausted and overwhelmed?
Remember how grateful and relieved you were to see your friends each week?
We hope you smile when you think that because we continue to
come together today, tomorrow’s parents will get a chance to feel that too.
"Thank you, PEPS Donors for making it possible for me to join
this Group by donating toward the scholarship fund.
I don’t know where I’d be and how I’d parent
without my special PEPS friends."
~ Zaniah, Luncheon speaker
