“My initial contact with Kids on the Block was through Yoshida’s Sand in the City, designing and building sand castles. At first I knew very little about the programs, the breadth of the content or the quality of shows. Now, as a current board member my enthusiasm continues to grow, and our programs are getting even stronger.”

Held at Pioneer Courthouse Square every July, this event defines Portland culture and is one of the Pacific Northwest's premier charity events. 100% of all procceds from the event support Kids on the Block programs.

This event is an excellent team building and marketing opportunity for your business and employees. Simultaneously, it allows your business to take a visible leadership role in the community by supporting a highly respected children's charity. This event is suitable for all companies regardless of size or creative ability, and it is designed to motivate people to work together and perform at their best.

With the help of our corporate sponsors, we are able to raise close to one third of Kids on the Block's operating budget with this one event!
