Our annual NVS Spring Gala “The Show Must Go On” is scheduled for Sunday, May 19, 2024. Our event will be held at Salty’s on Alki, with live entertainment and live auction items. It’s been a challenging few years for us, to include the loss of our beloved NVSU founder and Director Dr. Rober T Fraser. We continue to provide comprehensive vocational services at Harborview Medical Center. We hold this Gala each year to raise funds to support our clients as they transition back to work following an injury or illness.

Inspirational Story from our Client of the Year – To be announced
Keynote Speaker, Maria Federici Doyle
Maria Federici Doyle, a young woman whose life changed on a February night in 2004. Late in the evening, she was coming home late from work when on a trailer, a good distance in front of her, an item of unsecured furniture fell off and broke apart, sending a large piece of particle board catapulting through her windshield, striking her in the head causing massive brain and head injuries as well as complete blindness.
Since there were no laws at the time addressing this type of accident, Maria and her mother worked fearlessly with lawmakers and in 2005, WA lawmakers passed “Maria’s Law” criminalizing failure to properly secure a load on vehicles.
