Birthday and holiday gifts, school field trips, art supplies, summer camps, etc., are all paid for by the generosity of people like you who support our fundraising efforts.

All donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated. Let us know if you have any questions or would like for us to pick up your donation.

Join us for a night of great music supporting a great cause! Tickets are selling fast, so grab your friends and get a pod soon!

Contact Alex Mason (alexm@sayskids.org) or Lauren Peterson (laurenp@sayskids.org) to sponsor this event!
