Children of the Valley is sustained purely through the generous donations and sponsorships received from individuals much like yourself. Every penny raised goes directly into the program. Your contribution allows us to continue providing these incredible services to the children most in need from our community at no cost to them.

We believe that every action taken on behalf of these children – positive word-of-mouth, donation, sponsorship, or volunteer hours – starts a ripple of change that reaches far and wide. There are a number of ways you can help. Choose the way that works best for you.

A ripple effect can begin with a singular action. Just one mention of Children of the Valley to another individual has the ability to create a response that catapults change and impacts the lives of many.

Annual Art Auction
Each spring we auction off beautiful 6″x6″ art tiles from beloved local artists as well as our very own Children of the Valley students.
Local artists such as Ben Mann and Jennifer Boehmer graciously donate original works of art for our annual auction. You don’t want to miss your opportunity to collect one each year!
In addition to the beautiful donations from our local community of artists, it’s always with great honor that we present the heartfelt and intentional art from our students. At the beginning of every school year, we challenge our students to dream big – to envision their futures and how they want their lives to be no matter how challenging their current circumstances may be. Over the next nine months, we guide the children as they develop their ideas into a plan for success. An essential component of this framework is acknowledging and honoring where each child comes from – their roots, family, culture, and personal identity. This is the inspiration behind each child’s art tile.
