Legion of Youth, a new program launched by Boeing at
the Seattle Sehawks, will award Seahawks game tickets to
community organizations that serve youth throughout the
Northwest. Each regular season home game, 100 game tick-
ets will be given to a group or organization.
In addition, the program will recognize students who are
committed to their school work, demonstrate leadership,
and are active in the community.
During each of the eight regular season games, 25 youth
will each receive four game tickets, breakfast with a special
message from a Seahawks alum, concession vouchers, and
a Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing sweatshirt.
The Seahawks and Boeing will select the community
groups to receive the tickets each game. All community
organizations will be notified by a member from the Sea-
hawks staff. Recipients will be announced on
www.seahawks.com each Wednesday prior to a home game.
For more information and to apply for the program, visit
www.seahawks.com/legionofyouth.
Did you recently receive a letter from the Washington
State Department of Revenue about unclaimed safe deposit
box contents that could be yours? If so, the deadline to
claim the items is Thursday.
Revenue sent letters to around 700 people in late July let-
ting them know the agency has been holding for several
years safe deposit box contents in their name. The letters
advise the recipients that the contents will be auctioned off
this fall unless they file a claim by Aug. 28, 2014.
Revenue is working with the James G. Murphy Company
on a two-day auction slated for Nov. 19 and 20, 2014 in
Kenmore, Wash.
If you received this letter from Revenue, visit
http://claimyourcash.org to file your claim by Aug. 28, 2014.

at Free National Preparedness
Month Webinar Series
Each year small businesses nationwide are forced to close
their doors in the aftermath of severe storms, flooding, tor-

planning through a series of free webinars in September
hosted by the U.S. Small Business Administration and
Agility Recovery. The September series is presented in
collaboration with FEMA’s Ready Campaign as part of
National Preparedness Month.
The half-hour webinars will be presented at 2 p.m., East-
ern time, each Wednesday in September.
SBA has partnered with Agility Recovery to offer busi-
ness
continuity
strategies
