Day in the Park

The Taylor Family Foundation (TTFF) is bringing back their premier auction fundraiser, Day in the Park. Proceeds from the auction support Camp Arroyo's summer and weekend camp adventures for at-risk youth, and children living with developmental disabilities, and life-threatening and chronic illnesses.

This year marks a special anniversary for TTFF—20 years of giving financial assistance to children in need and 10 years of providing camp experiences. Co-founders Barry and Elaine Taylor said, "When we think back over these 20 years, we never imagined that so many people from every walk of life would care as much as we do for the incredible children we serve. We thank our 'lucky charms' that together we have all helped these campers and their families find more joy and hope."

This year's Day in the Park auction fundraiser includes gourmet food and wine from some of the Bay Area's top restaurants and the finest Northern Californian wineries. Mingle with local celebrities and bid on silent and live auction packages. Priceless and rare live auction items include a cooking school in Italy, celebrity dinners, and sports packages, a luxury cruise to the Caribbean, Alaskan heli-skiing, a private BACKROADS® trip to Savannah, GA for 20, and a week's stay at Las Ventanas in Cabo San Lucas. Individual tickets are $175; tables of 10 cost $2,000. Sponsorships begin at $3,000.
