The annual Pete Gross House Luncheon raised more than $300,000 for families coming to the Center for cancer treatment.

Presented by General Motors, the luncheon featured Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren and his wife, Kathy, as speakers. The program included silent and live auctions to raise money for the Family Assistance Fund, which supports families staying at Pete Gross House and others receiving treatment at the Center.

Named after the "Voice of the Seahawks," play-by-play announcer Pete Gross, who died of cancer in 1992, the house is a 70-unit, six-floor apartment building designed to serve as home away from home for cancer patients and their families.
