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 chefs will be back to prepare a fantastic feast. We’ll also have family-friendly activities, an 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, you become one of our esteemed “party hosts,” enjoying access to this exciting event, along with special benefits and recognition. We offer a range of giving levels so you can support in the way that feels right for you. Every contribution makes a difference.
If you’re interested in sponsoring our party and becoming a party host, please start here, and contact [email protected] or [email protected] if you have any questions.
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.
