Epic Night Out
Come have a great night out with your friends and neighbors: enjoy food, drinks, dancing, games and raffles, while supporting the Kids’ Corner community. We promise you will have a blast!
Kids’ Corner is a parent-sponsored, independent nonprofit, and Epic Night Out is our primary annual fundraising event. Most of the great things we do for our families and community are supported by tuition, but the proceeds of this event help us to do even more great stuff, and invest in the children, staff, and program through upgrades in equipment, technology, training, supplies, curriculum, and STEAM initiatives. Our last Epic Night Out event raised nearly $10,000 which helped us invest in replacing our aging fleet of student MacBooks, energy-efficient motion-sensored faucets and a new water filling station!
Grab your dance partner, line up your sitter, and join us to help Kid’s Corner continue its tradition of fostering a creative and innovative learning environment for its students.

Giving Tuesday Fundraiser
Our biggest fundraiser of the year is here! It’s Giving Tuesday!
Our Goal: We are aiming for 75% participation from all of our current program families! Last year, we were able to reach 71% participation across the program. Our main goal with this fundraiser remains broad participation. No amount is too big or too small.
If a classroom reaches 65% participation within their room, the kids will earn a pizza party! If you have children in more than one classroom, each room gets credit with your donation!
Additionally, we have two amazingly gracious matching gifts this year. Every gift will be matched dollar for dollar with a matching gift from the Lee Family and an anonymous
family, up to $5,000 in total. Incredible! Let us know if your family or company would be willing to join the match game!
Impact from last year’s Giving Tuesday funds:
Last year, the average donation was $165. With our funds from last year, we were able to:
Provide a STEM Museum of Science workshop & a MAPS classroom behavior management
workshop for our teachers (total: $2,825)Update our security system and install new carpeting (total: $8,700)
The students went on four program-wide field trips on Early Release Days (average cost
of each field trip ($1,041)The students enjoyed four special performances during Early Release Days (average cost
of each performance: $1,043)
How to Participate:
Parents, relatives ,and friends love that it’s very easy to participate and give back to the program! Here are the avenues to donate:
