\n足彩app哪个是正规的 pandemic is not stopping the 6th annual Bothell Block Party and BrewFest<\/a>, although people will not be gathering the same way this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Working closely with event partners and performers, UW Bothell\u2019s Office of Alumni Engagement has organized this year\u2019s block party with an impressive lineup of musicians and vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set for Aug. 22, the event will also serve as a fundraiser to support the Black Opportunity Fund<\/a> at UW Bothell \u2014 which supports students, faculty and staff \u2014 and will feature many Black and allied artists who have performed at the event in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, the festival has been paired with the Husky 5K<\/a> during UW Bothell\u2019s annual Alumni Weekend. This year, the 5K was held virtually in May, attracting more than 800 participants from around the world, raising almost $14,800 for the 足彩app哪个是正规的 Emergency 足彩app哪个是正规的 Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New ways to participate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 Block Party and BrewFest<\/a> usually takes over four blocks in downtown Bothell with food trucks, local craft beers and some of Seattle\u2019s most popular bands playing on multiple stages. It\u2019s a community-centered event in which the University, the city and many local businesses come together to build community with people from across the Puget Sound region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With state-mandated rules about physical distancing, organizer Tiffany Kirk and her team knew they couldn\u2019t replicate the usual experience. 足彩app哪个是正规的y also didn\u2019t want to turn it into something that felt like a teleconference. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to host a livestream. We\u2019ve seen so many of them these last few months,\u201d said Kirk, the interim director for alumni engagement. \u201cOur goal was to get people more engaged and not require them to sit in front of a screen to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how the 2020 Bothell Block Party and BrewFest will work: All registrants will receive a block party box by mail before the event, set for Saturday, Aug. 22. 足彩app哪个是正规的n, at 3 p.m. that day, registrants will be emailed a digital playlist that has been curated by the Seattle artists themselves<\/a>. Many local favorites \u2014 such as 足彩app哪个是正规的 Black Tones, King Youngblood and Pickwick, to name just a few \u2014 will be sharing their music. Some have even created new music videos specifically for this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 3 to 10 p.m., while enjoying the music and local craft beers from participating breweries, participants will be encouraged to share their own photos and videos through their social media accounts, using the hashtag #virtualbothellbp. 足彩app哪个是正规的 shared content will be shown on a tagboard on an interactive webpage open just to registrants, something UW Bothell saw successfully create connections among all the people participating in this year\u2019s virtual Husky 5K. 足彩app哪个是正规的 board will remain available for a short time after the event as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis should go without saying, but we ask everyone to remember social-distancing rules and to take appropriate safety precautions if they are participating with others,\u201d said Kirk. \u201cWe included a mask in the box intentionally, and we know our participants all want to ensure this will be a fun and safe event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good fun for a good cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we love most about this festival is that it\u2019s a full-on community event,\u201d said Kirk. \u201cIt\u2019s billed as a UW Bothell Alumni Weekend event, but it\u2019s absolutely open to the general public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirk emphasized the importance of UW Bothell\u2019s partnership with the Bothell Kenmore Chamber<\/a>, whose executive director is a UW Bothell alum. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的y have been strong supporters of this event since the first one six years ago,\u201d she said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 team there and all our many sponsors are what enables us to put together this fun event for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s sponsors include AT&T, BECU, WSECU, Starbucks, Image Source and the UW Alumni Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To participate, go to the Block Party event page where you can purchase your tickets online. Two types of tickets are available: a general admission ticket and a BP upgrade ticket. 足彩app哪个是正规的 $30 general admission ticket includes a tube-style face mask, a koozie, a number of sponsor perks, a 32 oz. glass growler and $1 off growler fills from participating breweries through December 2020. With the $45 BP upgrade ticket, participants receive everything from the general-admission level plus a Bluetooth wireless speaker, a $15 Starbucks gift card and 20 oz. Starbucks tumbler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AT&T, a new sponsor this year, has also generously offered to donate $15 to the Black Opportunity Fund for each BP upgrade ticket purchased, up to $15,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all look forward to \u201cseeing\u201d you on Saturday, Aug. 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
