You’re Invited – 2026 Nepal Spine Foundation Fundraising Dinner & Auction

I’m excited to be the Keynote speaker for this year’s Nepal Spine Foundation fundraiser! This event will take place at the beautiful and exclusive Rainer Club in downtown Seattle on February 7th.

The Nepal Spine Foundation Fundraising Dinner and Auction supports our mission to advance spine care and neurosurgical education in Nepal through our partnership with Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.

I’ll be giving a keynote speech that includes a slide show of recent work, and I’ll be joined by renowned alpinist and featured guest Graham Zimmerman.

Kick off the evening with a relaxed cocktail hour where you can grab a drink, enjoy appetizers, and catch up with friends while browsing our silent auction and Wine Toss. Afterward, you’ll move into the Cutter Room for a seated dinner created by the Rainier Club chef, with flavors inspired by traditional Nepali cuisine. It’s a great chance to settle in, enjoy something truly special, and soak in the atmosphere—VIP tables will be right up front for the night’s program.

The main event brings it all together with a warm welcome from the Nepal Spine Foundation’s co-founders, live traditional music from local Nepalese performers, and of course, Graham and myself.

Whether you come as part of a table or snag an individual seat, it’s shaping up to be an inspiring, fun, and meaningful night. Tables and individual tickets are available, along with sponsorship opportunities for those who want to support the cause even more.

I hope to see you there!
