Shirley has been with Swat Fame for over 20 years and the pride she takes in her work is infectious. When it comes to loved and respected role models, Shirley’s at the top of the list.

Not only is Shirley a great role model, she’s a logistical whiz when it comes to workflow solutions and systems. She takes great pride in doing things the right way, works hard while making it look easy, and is a pleasure to work with.
Good vibes, good food, good family fun. Talk about a night to remember!
This month we were thrilled to partner with Street Food Cinema. We invited KUT customers to join in the fun and WOW: it was great from beginning to end.
When it comes to party planning and community fun, Street Food Cinema is where it’s at. Launched in 2012, Street Food Cinema is more than just an outdoor movie. It’s an experience. They have the know how and acumen to bring together the best in pop culture films, gourmet street food and progressive new music, and have reinvented the traditional movie going experience that’s fun for all.
The night kicked off with the Roaries, a 1950’s surf rock cover band and everyone was grooving. As the sun went down and the moon went up, Summer Lovin was in the air. We gathered on the lawn to watch Grease, one of our favorite movies of all time. As you’d imagine, the group sing along filled us up BIG!
The night left us feeling grateful for community, grateful for summer, grateful all around. Can’t wait to do it again!
Congratulations to all the winners and winners of unclaimed prizes.

The Nordstrom Beat the Bridge to Beat Diabetes is a fundraiser for JDRF — the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. The event consists of an 8K run and wheelchair race, a 3-mile walk, a 1-mile fun run, and the Diaper Derby for toddlers. The event is called Beat the Bridge because the course travels over Seattle’s University Bridge, which is raised during the race. Participants try to cross the bridge before it is raised. Those who don’t beat the bridge must wait, with a live band and entertainment, for the bridge to come back down. After a few minutes, the bridge lowers and everyone can finish the race. Since the first Beat the Bridge race in 1983, Nordstrom has partnered with JDRF to raise funds to cure, prevent and better treat T1D. Beat the Bridge is part of the JDRF One Walk program, which holds annual charitable walks in more than 200 locations in 13 countries. JDRF One Walk has raised more than $1 billion for T1D research and we are proud to currently hold the number one position as the largest Walk in the country! Swatfame is honored to support this organization each year.

She has a can-do attitude and is always willing to go above and beyond with all essential duties.
