For the Love of Children

Wednesday, February 10, 2027 | The Shag House, Palm Springs

We’re returning to The Shag House to gather community partners, philanthropists, and supporters under the stars and celebrate the success of long-term mentoring in the Coachella Valley. Highlights include cocktails and bites, live and silent auctions, and stories about the youth and families our Friends walk beside.

Every child in our program is paired with a Friend, a paid professional mentor who starts with them in kindergarten and stays through high school graduation. 12+ years, no matter what. This evening helps us keep that promise and keep breaking the cycle of generational poverty in the Coachella Valley.

“My biggest hope for my children is for them to achieve everything they want to.” — Carmen, mom whose daughter is enrolled in our program.

Every sponsorship helps a Friend keep showing up for a child, week after week. To learn about sponsorship opportunities and other ways to get involved, contact Vicki Bowen Hewes. More details, including event times, coming soon.
