WHY? Due to the Pandemic, we unfortunately had to cancel our annual fundraiser – the Almaden Art & Wine Festival. This event – produced entirely by volunteers – helps to fund multiple organizations throughout the San Jose area as well as scholarships for graduating seniors. Organizations that have benefited in the past from our event include Gifts for Teens, Days for Girls, Almaden Valley Counseling Services, Nextdoor Solutions among many others. Our past donations have made a difference for many non-profit organizations who count on us to help with their annual budgets.
For 2021 we’ve created three community events to help raise funds for these organizations plus our scholarship program. Our final event for the year is our Festival of Thanks.
WHAT:
• For a donation of $10 for one bag, $25 for 5 bags or $50 for 20 bags, participants will receive bag/s (picked up and decorated at the event) and a glow stick to place in the bag.
Register:
