Kearse played with the Seahawks for five seasons, including the 2013 – 2014 season when the Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII! Before playing for the Seahawks, Kearse played for the University of Washington Huskies football team.

Kearse is also a Boys & Girls Club alumnus from Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. We can’t wait to hear from him at this year’s event!

About Dinner with Friends

Dinner with Friends is the premier corporate fundraising event for Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties.

Each year, we welcome a well-known Club Alumni, celebrity, or supporter as our special keynote speaker. Past year’s guests include Shaun White, K.J. Wright, Evander Holyfield, Gary Payton, Mario Lopez, Brandi Chastain, and more! In 2024, we welcomed America’s Caddie Michael Collins as our celebrity guest!

In addition to hearing from a different celebrity guest each year, we also hold an exciting live auction for all guests to participate in. Proceeds from this event are dedicated to supporting the 4,000+ youth served annually at our local Boys & Girls Clubs.
