The Land and Sea Party 2025

Join the celebration and support our youth and community programs!

Mark your calendars—our Land and Sea party is back and better than ever.

On Saturday, September 13 from 5-9 pm, we will gather for our annual fundraising party at Berkeley’s Live Oak Community Center in support of Waterside’s growing program offerings for youth in our community. An awesome team of Chez Panisse alumni chefs will be back to prepare a fantastic feast. We’ll also have family-friendly activities, an auction, prizes, and of course—dessert.

Help us have our most successful fundraiser yet! 

There are many ways that you can support the Waterside team in throwing a great party and raising much-needed funds for our youth-empowering organization.

Make a donation and become a party host!

Join us in launching our fundraising efforts by making a tax-deductible donation to Waterside Workshops. Your gift supports free youth programs directly: summer camps, outdoor adventures, bike giveaways, and paid job-training internships across several career tracks—and helps us employ even more young people.

We offer a range of giving levels so you can support in the way that feels right for you. Every contribution makes a difference.

By contributing to the Land and Sea Party, you become one of our esteemed “party hosts,” enjoying access to this exciting event, along with special benefits and recognition. Even better, your tax-deductible donation will support Waterside’s vital mission to empower youth. Your support will help under-resourced young people feel heard, gain confidence, develop work skills, and access the resources needed for healthier, more sustainable lives.

If you’re interested in sponsoring our party and becoming a party host, please contact [email protected] or [email protected].

Donate goods and services for our auction

Another way to support the Land and Sea fundraiser is by donating goods and services for our auction.

Your contribution will be bid on by 200 community members and local leaders, generating positive awareness for your brand. Even better, your tax-deductible donation will support Waterside’s vital mission to empower youth. With your support, we can help them feel heard, gain confidence, develop work skills, and access the resources needed for healthier, more sustainable lives. THANK YOU!
