🎉 Donate a Hosted Party!

What are Hosted Parties? They are events that parents, or a group of parents, agree to host for as many people as they find appropriate for the specific activity/party. Attendees can be adults, kids or a combination of the two. The hosts cover all expenses of the party, and 100% of the funds raised by the event benefit Whittier. Prices can range from $25 to $100+ per person depending on the event. Past events include pie and beverage pairings, grade-level happy hours, outdoor movie nights in a backyard, gardening lessons, and more! Email sara.m.lukas@gmail.com or jonilarson3@gmail.com if you need help coming up with an idea, or if you’re ready, submit one here!

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: Friday, Feb 13th

Day-of Volunteers Needed!

Guess what, friends. We’ve redesigned this event this year to require fewer volunteers with shorter shifts. It’s a great way to have fun at the event, help out Whittier and the volunteers that make things happen, and still have plenty of free party time. Sign-up here >>
