This year’s Spring Fling will keep this annual event’s best-ofs in an outdoor, block party setting! Help us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal by bidding on classroom art projects (featuring each Wildcat’s unique contribution), themed gift baskets compiled by each class, over 50 goods and experiences packages donated by local businesses, tickets to hosted parties by Whittier families, and more! While you bid, enjoy local food trucks, plenty of beverages, music, and (finally!) hang with other Whittier parents and caregivers at this adults-only evening event.
Tickets are $30 each and include a custom drink koozy. Buy two for $50 and also receive a free drink ticket to use while you Fling!
