Around this time each year, Seattle rains start slowing as blooms begin to peek out in search of the spring sun. It’s a reminder that summer is just a few months away, and that Sunbreak is just around the corner. Sunbreak isn’t just a tournament. It’s a celebration. Each year, over 1,500 players gather—from familiar local faces to fresh new friends from around the world—to make new memories and create magic. We play with both the Spirit of the Game and the spirit of summer, and remember how lucky we are to be part of an amazing community. This makes this announcement that much harder. This year’s Sunbreak will be postponed until next summer out of an abundance of caution and for the health and safety of our community. Our incredible TDs and volunteers remain committed to bring an Out of this World Sunbreak back for our 30th anniversary next year. We are heartbroken to have to cancel our favorite event of the year. The current global health crisis is upending lives and organizations. Here in Washington, we are in the middle of a stay at home order and DiscNW has already reduced staff in response to our limited operations. Regardless of all else, the health of our players will always be our first priority. We make this decision to ensure that our next Sunbreak is one where everyone can safely play their hearts out without any distractions. In the meantime, we wish you and yours health and positivity in these challenging times. Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our DiscNW family. See you next year! Sincerely,

Ann Huang

DiscNW Board President
