On Saturday, September 19 from 5-9 pm, we will gather for our annual fundraising party at Waterside’s newly improved and beautified campus on Bolivar Drive at Aquatic Park — and we can’t wait to show it off. Join us in celebrating the space alongside the youth and community it serves, with a fantastic feast, activities, a silent auction, prizes, and of course, dessert.
Join us in launching our fundraising efforts by making a tax-deductible donation (EIN 26-0200654) 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. By contributing to the Land and Sea Party at one of our sponsorship levels below, you become one of our esteemed “party hosts,” enjoying access to this exciting event, along with special benefits and recognition. Not ready to sponsor? You’re also welcome to make a smaller contribution — every gift makes a difference.
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
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. Fill out this form if you are interested in donating! THANK YOU!
