We are reaching out to you on behalf of the children at Kensington Hilltop Elementary School asking that you please consider supporting our East Bay public school.

Donations for our annual online and live auction “Garden Party” helps us raise money to staff teachers who instruct our children in science, art, Spark physical education, and Youth in Arts Music Residency — all of which our Richmond-based school district no longer can fund. This support also helps fund a school librarian, critical reading and math support for students performing below grade level.

Public education funding in California remains unstable, and we ask for donations for our auction that allows us to support these important education programs. We hope that we can count on your support.
