Editor’s note: Our latest blog series is called “Engage With KidWorks.” We’re excited to share the variety of meaningful—and fun—ways you can become part of the KidWorks experience. In our second installment, we invite you to attend one of our exciting and uplifting KidWorks events.
KidWorks isn't only about homework. We also like to have fun!
That’s why we’re delighted to invite you to one of the many events we hold each year to raise funds, engage with the central Santa Ana Community and enjoy our students’ many talents.
Check out some of the fun stuff we have planned for 2017:
Community Events
The community fairs are much-anticipated events where families from the surrounding neighborhoods come together to share friendship, play games, relax, enjoy snacks and just have fun. These are the fairs planned for this year:
March 18: Bishop Manor Intergenerational Health Fair
April 22: Dia del Niño Myrtle St. Resource Fair
August 19: Townsend-Raitt St. Resource Fair
KidWorks Classic Golf Tournament

Foundation for Success Luncheon
We invite you to attend our annual luncheon, that for the past three years, the Orange County Business Journal has listed as one of the top five fundraising luncheons.
For each of its 10 years, the event has featured an extraordinary keynote speaker. It’s also instrumental in helping us raise a substantial portion of the funds for our after-school programs.
This year’s event details are coming soon!
