Events

Kiddo! organizes several events each year that are both fundraisers and “friendraisers.”

Annual Events

Kindergarten Social

At the beginning of each school year, Kiddo! welcomes new Kindergarten families to the Mill Valley school district at Kindergarten Socials organized at each school. This year the socials take place on the day before school begins, May 26, 2009. This is a free event.

Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival Food Booth

The Mill Valley Fall Arts Committee has been presenting the Fall Arts Festival in Old Mill Park for 50 years. For the past 13 years, Kiddo! has sold food both as a fundraiser and as a community service. Be sure to check out the student art exhibit along with all the professional artists’ booths at this wonderful community event. This year the event will be held on September 19th & 20th, 2009.

Annual Golf Tournament

Every October, Kiddo! organizes an annual golf tournament and banquet. It is a great day with lunch, golf, contests and prizes and culminates in an awards banquet in the evening. Foursomes play for the coveted Kiddo! Cup. In addition to playing, there are many opportunities for Tournament and Hole Sponsorships. Kiddo!’s next tournament will be held on October 30th, 2009.

Biennial Events:

Odd Years – Kiddo! Gala and Auction

Kiddo! organizes a Gala and Auction that features both a silent and live auction, dinner and dancing under a gigantic tent at the Mill Valley Community Center. The event attracts nearly 700 party-goers and raises between $150,000 & $250,000 for the Kiddo! Endowment Fund. In addition to attending the party, individuals and businesses may donate to the auction. The next party will be held in March of 2011.

Kiddo! Night at the Giants – 2010 Date TBA

Each May, the Middle School Chamber Choir are invited to perform the National Anthem at a San Francisco Giants Game. Kiddo! reserves a block of 800+ tickets and invites the community to cheer on both the Chorus and the Giants. It is a great evening of fun, community and baseball! You must purchase tickets via the Kiddo! web site to sit with the Mill Valley group and for Kiddo! to get the donation. Watch this space for info on the 2010 game night.
