Launch
> IMPORTANT NEWS:

Tickets on Sale Now!

Help us reach our goal of $40,000 in ticket sales and donations – crucial funds that will help us continue to run our high-quality, inclusive programs and serve families and children furthest from educational justice!

We are thrilled to invite you to join us for a fantastic day filled with food, friends, fun, and community! Launch’s major fundraising event this year is designed to celebrate the heart of our organization: our kids and families. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and provides crucial funding to support the programs that make this organization so special, including vital Tuition Assistance for families furthest from educational justice.

Annual Fundraiser Details:

When: Saturday, June 8th from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Where: Van Asselt Community Center and Fields

Who: All are welcome, including children!

What: Keeping the spirit of fun in fundraiser, there will be a variety of booths offering games and crafts designed and operated by our Launch students and staff from each of our 13 sites! You won’t want to miss the photo booth, cake walk, art auction, face painting, “Soak a Launch Teacher,” and so much more! Come hungry, because we’ll be serving up spaghetti to keep you fueled for all the fun. Trust us, you don’t want to miss out, and there is nothing better than coming together as a community to support an important cause.

Why: All of Launch’s services are built upon our commitment to serving children and families historically and currently furthest from educational justice – those disproportionately impacted by systemic injustices and facing more significant barriers to resources. We are committed to leading the charge to brilliant outcomes for the children of our community by ensuring equitable access to the highest-quality learning and care. All funds raised at this event will play a crucial role in supporting our programs and helping to boost our unique Tuition Assistance Program – last year, we were able to offer nearly $170,000 in tuition support to 86 families, and with your support, we hope to serve even more families this year!
