Beyond the Build Luncheon 2026

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Beyond the Build Luncheon! Together, we celebrated 40 years of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter — and what an incredible afternoon it was.

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors, Table Captains, volunteers, staff, and every guest who showed up in support of affordable homeownership in our community. Your generosity and commitment make this work possible.

A special thank you to Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Mike Macdonald for sharing inspiring reflections on leadership, teamwork, and community, and to the Habitat homeowners who courageously shared their stories and reminded us all of the transformational impact of a safe, stable home.

Because of you, more families across King and Kittitas counties will have the opportunity to build brighter futures.

The Impact

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the 2026 Beyond the Build Luncheon raised $2.2 million (and counting!) to support affordable homeownership opportunities across King and Kittitas counties.

Every dollar raised helps families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

Stay tuned for 2027!

We’re already looking ahead to next year’s Beyond the Build Luncheon, and we can’t wait to gather again in support of affordable housing and stronger communities.

Stay tuned for updates, announcements, and ways to get involved in 2027. We hope to see you there! Until then, explore our upcoming events and find more ways to get involved, volunteer, and support Habitat’s mission throughout our 40th anniversary year!

What is the Beyond the Build Luncheon?

Each spring, Habitat for Humanity Seattle–King & Kittitas Counties brings together community leaders, partners, and supporters for the Beyond the Build Luncheon, our largest annual fundraising event dedicated to advancing affordable housing in our region.

The luncheon is an opportunity to celebrate the impact of affordable homeownership, hear directly from Habitat families, and rally our community around the work still ahead.

Through the generosity of attendees, sponsors, and supporters, Beyond the Build helps create more opportunities for families to access safe, stable, and affordable homes.
