Home Beyond Borders: From Exile to Belonging and CIN 10th Anniversary

For the past ten years, the Congolese Integration Network has been more than an organization. It has been a place of welcome, connection, healing, and opportunity for refugee and immigrant families in our community.

This October, we’re celebrating that journey, and we would love for you to be part of it.

Please join us for CIN’s 10th Anniversary & Book Launch:

HOME BEYOND BORDERS: From Exile to Belonging
Friday, October 23, 2026 | 5:00–10:00 PM
Seattle Airport Marriott
3201 S 176th St, SeaTac, WA

This will be a special evening of stories, music, community, reflection, and celebration, honoring ten years of walking alongside refugee and immigrant families as they rebuild their lives, find belonging, and contribute to the communities they now call home.

We will also celebrate the launch of a new book connected to this journey and look ahead to what CIN is building next, including the Welcoming & Healing Center and other efforts designed to create long-term stability, opportunity, and belonging.

There are three meaningful ways to join us:

1. Come celebrate with us.
   Official gala tickets are $125 and are available here:
   https://cinfundraiser2026.auctria.events/
2. Donate a raffle item.
   A gift card, product, service, or experience from your business can help support the event while introducing your business to hundreds of guests and community partners.
3. Sponsor a community member’s seat.
   Many of the families we serve would love to attend but may not be able to afford the ticket price. A $125 sponsored seat gives someone from our community the opportunity to be in the room, celebrate this milestone, and feel that they are part of the story they helped build.

You can also RSVP to stay connected with event updates, and then purchase your official gala ticket through the link above.

CIN is a refugee-led nonprofit based in SeaTac, Washington. For ten years, we have worked alongside Congolese and other refugee and immigrant families through programs in youth development, health, housing, early learning, workforce support, and community integration.

This anniversary is not only about looking back.

It is about asking what we can build together for the next ten years.

We hope you will join us.
