Since 2009, KPP’s partnerships with the organizations it supports have become more dynamic, with partner organizations helping market dinners, share information on social media, solicit local food and beverage donations, and provide volunteers for events when needed. The recent first annual “for kids, by kids” gala in Delta reflected the collaborative nature of these partnerships.
The event celebrated and supported three other youth-serving organizations: Families Plus, Friends of Youth & Nature, and Partners Mentors. All organizations worked together to plan the event for nearly 150 guests, and KPP provided youth training that included food preparation over five Sunday afternoons leading up to the event. Families Plus, Partners and Friends of Youth and Nature each received over $4,000 from the dinner profits and auction sales.
