Gala Fundraiser

What a night!

Thank you to everyone that joined us on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 for Once Upon a Time at Fairyland, our 25th annual fundraising gala! We had so much fun reconnecting with longtime supporters, making new friends, and partying under the stars.

With the support of so many in our community—including sponsors, ticket buyers, donors, and the businesses and people that donated their products, hard work, and passion—we raised over $310,000! 

This investment in our vision for the accessible, inclusive, revitalized future of Children's Fairyland will help us transform our new strategic plan into meaningful action that makes a difference for Bay Area families.

Please contact Leslie Fay Marks, Senior Director of Philanthropy, at leslie.marks@fairyland.org or (510) 452-2259.

Sorry we missed you!

If you missed the gala, there are more ways to party at the park without littles! Mark your calendars for Fairyland for Grownups, which will be returning to the park after a multi-year hiatus on Friday, July 29, 2022. Tickets go on sale June 10, 2022 and will go fast!
