Season's Greetings!
Thank you for being with us all year!

A Year-End Request from Cascadia Technical Academy Foundation
As we close out another year of growth, we invite you to support the students of Cascadia Technical Academy through our Year-End Campaign. Your generosity helps ensure that every young person who walks through our doors has the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves and for our community.
Cascadia Tech now serves more than 1,600 high school students from across SW Washington, many of whom face financial barriers that make their career dreams feel out of reach. Here, they find hands-on learning, caring instructors, and a pathway to meaningful, stable careers. For many, Cascadia Tech is where they discover their strengths and begin to imagine a future filled with possibility.
This year, we expanded our Pre-Electrical and Teaching Academy programs and added Maritime Technology, Barbering, and Forest Management. With 20 total programs, students can pursue pathways in Automotive, Aviation, Construction, Engineering, Health Sciences, and other fields supporting high-demand industries. Cascadia Tech plays a vital role in preparing the skilled workforce our region depends on.
What many do not realize is that Cascadia Technical Academy does not receive bond or levy funds. As enrollment and program costs grow, we rely on community support to provide industry-standard equipment, updated labs, and scholarships that remove financial barriers for students.
Your year-end gift ensures students gain real-world skills, train on professional equipment, and are job ready on their first day of employment. Most importantly, your support shows students that their community believes in their potential.
As you consider your year-end giving, we ask you to invest in these remarkable young people and the workforce of tomorrow.
With gratitude,
Dave Cole | Executive Director
