Annual Events
Spring
YouthWorks is a partnership between Memorial Foundation and local high schools providing philanthropy education, input on youth health care programs, and fundraising opportunities to support Memorial Foundation’s four healthcare initiatives. This youth empowerment program engages our community’s youth directly through mentoring, volunteering, and philanthropy.
May
Passion for the Village is an annual dinner-auction that raises the funds necessary to support programs and services at Children’s Village. Being a place where children with special needs are children first and are defined by their unique qualities, talents, and potential; not their diagnosis; Children’s Village is a true gift to our community.
September
Participants ensure more than 13,000 babies and kids are cared for annually at Yakima Memorial and Children’s Village. Every dollar raised stays local and supports children’s health care programs - helping the next generation receive lifesaving care and offering families comfort and peace of mind during the most trying moments of their lives.
September
Join us in September for a garden party to celebrate the good work that Cottage in the Meadow does for those in our community.
October
All funds raised through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals stay in the Yakima Valley to support more than 13,000 babies and children at Yakima Memorial. Donations support Children’s Village and Yakima Memorial’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Unit, and Family Birthplace.
December
All are invited to join us for a Holiday Tree Lighting at North Star Lodge. Grab friends and family, bundle up and come celebrate the hope of the season.
