Sponsor Spotlight
WCEL is thrilled to be partnering in many ways with Julian Friedman and his team at Julian & Company! Along with the company's incredible contribution as Presenting Sponsor of our 2026 Gala & Auction on May 30th, Julian also volunteers his time as a member of WECL's Fundraising Advisory Committee.
In their newest act of impact, Julian & Company will soon be offering an option to philanthropic-minded community members through their expert real estate services: When clients mention WCEL at closing, Julian & Company will donate 20% of the net commission will be donated to our services and programs.
Thank you for all your amazing contributions, Julian & Company! WCEL couldn't achieve our mission without generous supporters like you.
“Everyone in Whatcom County has felt the impact of WCEL's work, whether they know it or not. WCEL supports families and builds capable minds—both of which strengthen the fabric of our community. We feel privileged and honored to be able to support them through our work.”
—Julian Friedman, Team Lead at Julian & Company 2026 Gala & Auction
WCEL’s Annual Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year, and sponsor contributions allow us to reach more children, support more families, and continue adding programs that address urgent community needs.
