Special Events

Family & Children Services invites you to join the agency in celebrating families by becoming involved in special events held throughout the year.

Our events include:

The Circle of Support Breakfast
Founded in 2004, the Circle of Support Breakfast is an annual event featuring a speaker on emotional wellness. A volunteer committee plans, organizes, and presents the breakfast, which is held in late April or early May in the Menlo Park/Palo Alto area.

The committee welcomes inquiries from new members. Other ways to help include table sponsorships and event underwriting.

Leadership Awards
Family & Children Services is so appreciative of our donors and of our dedicated volunteers. We try to recognize and thank them as much as we can. In 2005, we held a special awards evening.

Family & Children Services as Beneficiary
Family & Children Services is extremely fortunate to be the beneficiary of two wonderful annual events organized by all-volunteer run organizations:

The Peninsula Ball - Presented by the Peninsula Ball Committee
Christmas Tree Elegance - Presented by The Valle Monte League, Inc.

These annual events are highly regarded and popular. Each year is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the organizations' members. We are honored to have partnerships with both the Peninsula Ball and Valle Monte League that date back close to five decades.
