Inland Empire Toyota Dealers Association joins the fight against breast cancer



For the third straight year, the Inland Empire Toyota Dealers Association has chosen to take a stand against breast cancer. Toyota will partner once again with Beyond Pink, a charity that is educating our community and saving lives. Beyond Pink raises funds for thermography and offers grants to women in the Spokane region who want insight into their breast health and offers information and resources to women for breast disease screening and help on improving their overall health, potentially preventing breast cancer from ever happening.

Since 2014, Toyota has donated a vehicle to the local nonprofit to help with their fundraising efforts, collectively raising $57,500 to date. All proceeds have gone towards life-saving thermography grants, which are directly benefiting and empowering people in our community. This year, Toyota is giving away a 2017 Toyota Corolla.

The Toyota Corolla will be raffled off to one lucky winner on Thursday, October 5 at Yards Bruncheon in Kendall Yards. Raffle tickets are $50 and a maximum of only 1000 tickets will be sold.

Music & Arts Center at Wenatchee Valley College earns National Award of Excellence

The American Institute of Architect's Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) recently announced the 2017 Education Facility Design Award winners, which includes five Awards of Excellence and seven Awards of Merit. The Music & Art Center at Wenatchee Valley College (the 'MAC'), designed by Integrus Architecture, received an Award of Excellence.

The MAC intertwines the Visual and Performing Arts programs to provide artistic instruction by day and a welcoming place for Wenatchee's community to enjoy concerts and art exhibits by night. The building's 'L-shaped' footprint provides two distinct wings to provide a separation of the art and music programs, while still respecting the need to unify them for creative inspiration. A lobby, and 'heart' of the building intersects the two distinct visual arts and performing arts zones and is the building's main entry, lobby, student space, and queuing area for the 150-seat recital hall. For more on this project go to: www.integrusarch.com/work/work_highered_proj_3.php.

The national AIA CAE awards program recognizes state-of-the-art learning environments being developed in today's learning spaces. These projects showcase innovation across the entire learning continuum, displaying how architecture can be used to inspire learners, educators, administrators, and campus communities alike.
