The Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC) held its first annual walkathon fundraising event at Safeco Field.
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn was among the nearly 500 walkers. About $15,000 was raised. The money raised will go toward supporting CISC programs, which include bilingual/bicultural after-school programs, language assistance and cultural programs for the elderly, and ESL and citizenship classes. ♦
