The Children’s Fairyland annual gala has brought thousands of people together over the past 27 years to invest in Oakland, invest in Bay Area families, and celebrate as a community.  Last year’s gala was a gathering of almost 300 guests. An incredible number of outstanding human beings who made it possible for us to invest more than ever before in our community.  

Your generous donation is what makes the many programs in the next chapter of Fairyland happen. Contributions and sponsorships from prominent local and national organizations ensure that all of the evening’s proceeds directly benefit children and families.

If there was ever a perfect setting for a tale to begin, Children’s Fairyland would be it.  On May 22, Fairyland will serve as an enchanted backdrop as you Unlock Your Story - where the food, the drinks, the attire, the ambiance, the mingling, and the magic will transport  you right into a new definition of “Eat, drink, and be merry”.  The evening’s most dynamic chapter begins and ends with our now famously spirited live auction, led by a professional auctioneer who never fails to electrify and delight. The auction is an action packed highlight of the night and its proceeds make dreams come true for children. 

The Gala Committee would be grateful for your donation of services, gift certificate, product, or direct donation for the auction or the online auction May 15 through May 22. Your generous donation and the name of your company will be prominently featured in our program, providing exposure for your business and services.

Fairyland would be proud to include you as a partner in these and other efforts to support Fairyland’s continuing transformation. Your partnership ignites a love of learning, inspires creativity, and fosters lifelong confidence in the children of our community. Explore, innovate, and discover with us as we embark on new programs, make new friends, and continue to invest in the power of stories and play for the next generations of Oakland and Bay Area families.
