Biennial Kiddo! Gala and Auction

Historically, the Kiddo! Gala and Auction is our most profitable event, raising funds for the Kiddo! endowment. Over 500 participants join in the revelry and celebration of our schools and enjoy a Silent Auction, Live Auction, dinner and dancing. Our next Gala will be in the spring of 2011. There are many volunteer jobs that must be filled in order to make this event a success. The responsibilities range from Gala Chair, responsible for the overall event, to stuffing envelopes with invitations. We appreciate everyone’s efforts and everyone is welcome.

Key Points:

• Live Auction
• Silent Auction
• Dinner
• Dancing

Fall Arts Festival

Take in the arts and eat some great food. Kiddo! sets up and mans a food booth at the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, which is traditionally held in September.

Golf Classic

Kiddo! Golf Classic and Banquet – For golfers and non-players alike, the Kiddo! Golf Classic raises funds for the Kiddo! endowment. Held in October, the Classic is comprised of a golf tournament, live auction and a banquet. Traditionally, tickets to this event sell out and volunteer spots fill up early.

Key Points:

• If you choose to play golf, the Golf Classic is played on local courses the afternoon of the event.
• Dinner and live auction directly after the tournament ends.

Memorial Day Parade

Every year Kiddo! constructs a float for Mill Valley’s Annual Memorial Day Parade, often featuring student musicians and Kiddo! supporters. In 2007, Kiddo! also co-sponsored a Memorial Day community festival after the Parade to celebrate Kiddo!’s 25th anniversary. This year’s parade will be Monday, May 31, 2009.

Giants Game

Sing along as the Mill Valley Middle School 8th Grade Choir opens the game with the National Anthem and watch one of Mill Valley’s own throw out the first pitch!

Each May, the Middle School Chamber Chorus is 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! Watch for this year’s date announcement. You must purchase tickets via the Kiddo! web site to sit with the Mill Valley group and for Kiddo! to get the donation.

Annual Giving Campaign Phonathon

Do you have experience in sales? Even if you don’t, every Year Kiddo! needs around 80 moms and dads to join us at the Kiddo! office for our annual phonathons in May and November. Kiddo! provides pizza, sodas, M&M’s, and on-site training including scripts for all callers. It involves one of your evenings (more if you like) from 6-9PM, yet this is one of the most important volunteer actives you can do. This is a great way for working parents to be involved since it’s after working hours.

Click here for the 2009 Kiddo! Volunteer form and fax the completed form to Kiddo! at 389.7766, or email Kiddo! at volunteer@kiddo.org about your interests.
