Richland, WA — The Reach Foundation invites the community to its signature summer fundraiser, Spuds & Suds, returning Thursday, August 21, 2025, at the REACH Museum. The main event will run from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., with a lively after-party from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. under the stars.
Tickets are on sale now at https://reachfoundationwa.org/annual-fundraiser, and sponsorship opportunities are still available for local businesses and individuals eager to support STEAM education in the Tri-Cities.
Held at the REACH Museum, Spuds & Suds blends mouthwatering BBQ, craft brews, and live Southern Rock by crowd favorite Nuketown—all in celebration of the region’s rich agricultural roots and community spirit.
Returning to the mic as emcee is beloved retired meteorologist Monty Webb, whose warm, familiar presence adds a personal touch to the evening’s festivities.
The highlight of the evening is the Raise-the-Paddle auction, where guests directly support the museum’s hands-on educational programs, exhibits, and outreach initiatives.
“This is the one night each year when our community comes together to celebrate what makes this region special and to invest in its future,” said Dan Boyd, Reach Foundation Board President.
“We’re deeply grateful for the individuals and businesses that make this event possible,” added Rosanna Sharpe, Executive Director of the REACH Museum. “Every dollar raised makes an impact.”
