All the Deets

When: Thursday, April 25, 2019
Where: [AV] Irvine
What: A night of interactive experiences and silent auctions for people who are passionate about changing children’s lives through education.

 

Cause and Effect: Think Together partners with schools to change the odds for kids. Think Together provides expanded learning programs designed to help students learn skills needed throughout school, into college and future careers.

Support From Where You Are: Can’t make it to the event? The auction will open on Apr. 22 so you can give back from the comfort of your home. Mobile bidding will let you see the items before the event and give you notices on bids. The auction will close at 8 p.m. on the night of the event.

First Day of School: A group of mothers reached out to the community in 1994 for help with protecting neighborhood kids and finding a safe space for them to do their homework. The Shalimar Learning Center welcomed 100 students on the first day!

A Helping Hand: Think Together partnered with the j.k. living foundation in 2012, expanding wellness programs among high school students.

Do the Math: From 2017 to 2018, there were 187,004 students enrolled in 552 programs in 47 districts across 8 counties.

Ticket Timer: To be a part of this incredible dinner and experience, make sure to get your tickets ASAP! Starting now up until the event, you can conveniently reserve your seat or a table on the event website.
