Community Events
Hosting community events is a great way of bringing us all together and creating memorable moments for our town. It helps us facilitate local awareness and serves as a starting point for involvement. We are connecting members of our community forever from these shared experiences, no matter their background, gender or age. Here is description of our highlighted events:
Reason for the Season
A holiday project for our senior community. A gift card and a visit from us during the holiday season will bring joy and cheer to seniors in need. The project allows us to send personalized message of love and kindness to elderly members of the community who may be feeling isolated or lonely during the holiday season.
Back To School Shoe Drive
Shoes are symbolic of pride and give confidence to young learners knowing they can walk to school in comfort. We believe that a new pair of shoes should be tough enough to protect a young child's feet whether it's on the playground, on the sports field or walking home from school. In partnership with Sketchers Shoe Store we are able to provide shoes for vulnerable children to fulfill such a basic need that is hard for them to meet.
Community Workshops
Along with Small Business Development Center we are conducting monthly workshops designed to provide community members with resources, marketing strategies, and education.
Calipatria High School Senior Scholarship
We are excited to offer a scholarship program to our graduating high school seniors, who plan to attend a university, community college, or trade school after high school graduation.
Tree Planting Project
Forty trees were planted in October 2023 and we resume in November 2024. Our goal is to continue to seek funding for future tree-planting projects. Tree planting is recognized as one of the most engaging, environmentally friendly activity that people can take part in to better the planet along with enhancing air quality and lesson the heatwave effect by providing shade.
Splash Day
Besides the benefit of cooling down and getting much needed exercise, it is a great form of entertainment on a hot sunny day, also bringing together members of the community regardless of their age.
Christmas in the Dark
A traditional event that sets the tone for Christmas in our small town. The event is hosted on the second Saturday of December. The event begins with food and craft vendors ready to serve the community followed by the parade of lights and a visit from Santa, you might even catch the Grinch walking around. No neighborhood child is left behind.
Calipatria High School Athletics Team Feed
We honor our girls and boys athletes, by organizing a team feed. We believe being part of a sports team encourages a student to learn discipline and to develop a sense of commitment. Overall, sports motivate students to maintain good grades and work well with others.
Black and White Ball
A black tie dinner and dance to recognize our sponsors and volunteers. A special occasion, which gives us the opportunity to mix and mingle and highlight current year accomplishments and kick start our next cause.
