2024 WCK Reach for the Stars

You’re invited to join Washington County Kids as we celebrate progress made on our mission:  To increase access to quality out-of-school-time programs that equip Washington County children and youth for success.

Our annual fundraising gala is happening on June 6, 2024, at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts in Beaverton, Oregon. This is an exciting new location for us and will be held in “The Lab”, a high-tech gathering place.

Our incredibly special guest is Oregon State Representative Susan McLain who successfully steered House Bill 4082 through the short session to help Oregon kids this summer!

The evening will include catered hors d’oeuvres, no-host wine, music, exciting silent and live auction items, and a celebration of what afterschool enrichment does for kids across the county.

Thanks to the generous donations last year of many wonderful people, we were able to fund over one third of our annual budget!  We are looking forward to connecting with our enthusiastic supporters.  All contributions help us pursue sustainable funding for afterschool and summer youth programs, as well as provide continuing education courses for providers and child behavioral information for parents.

We hope you will join us!
