"The Center for Wooden Boats is pleased to partner with Give by Cell to allow attendees of the 2012 Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival to make a donation to support the event on their mobile phones," said Erin Schiedler, Communications Coordinator. "In recent years, festival attendees have been more likely to pass through the entry gates of our free festival without making a donation because they do not carry cash. We are hoping that mobile giving will be an additional way for our visitors to support this amazing cultural event."
