FUSION summer arts festival hopes to raise $125K

Friends United to Shelter the Indigent, Oppressed and Needy (FUSION) will hold a Moulin Rouge theme art soiree from 3 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 1, at the Dumas Bay Centre in Federal Way.

Capturing the fun and romance of turn-of-the-century Paris, the event will feature an art walk, entertainment, live and silent auctions, and raffle for a seven-day ocean cruise for two. Catered appetizers, wine, beer and espresso will be served.

Tickets are $60 at www.fusionfederalway.org or by calling (253) 839-5212. Tickets at the door are $70. Proceeds benefit FUSION’s transitional housing program. The goal this year is to raise $125,000.
