Create moments of wonder that spark a lifetime of possibility
An annual event hosted by the WWFC, Holiday Heroes is a family-friendly fundraising event raising funds and spirits for underserved children this holiday season
We believe all kids deserve a chance to just be kids. We encourage youth to laugh hard, grow tall, and dream big through access to sports, after school programs, health care services, and exceptional experiences.
Event Details
December 6, 2022
Holiday Heroes will be outdoors (weather permitting) at Oracle Park for a magical evening of in-person activities to raise spirits as we raise funds.
In order to prioritize the safety of our guests at our in-person event, we will be monitoring and updating our health guidelines as the event approaches.
Our 2022 goal is to bring joy and to raise spirits for 500 underserved children through their attendance at Holiday Heroes.
Impact that can be measured.
“The Fontela children have expressed numerous times how grateful they are for the caring community who puts together the Holiday Heroes event. We’re most thankful for the lesson of “sharing” that our girls take away from this night. More than just gifts and fun experiences, they go home with the best value of learning how giving is more important than receiving. Thank you to all who makes this event happen and puts those smiles on many faces of children!”
“Attending the Holiday Heroes event gave the Junior Giants players a place to have unlimited fun for an evening. Kids got to be kids, no matter their background; everyone leaves a winner with a smile on their face.”
Fernanda Rivera was diagnosed with Leukemia and came to stay at Family House in June of 2016 with her family, so that she could have a Bone Marrow Transplant at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. In August while she was undergoing chemotherapy in preparation for her transplant, her family’s apartment in Modesto was destroyed in a fire, and they lost everything. Fernanda, her mother Jessica and Myluna her sister were thrilled to attend Holiday Heroes, because it meant that for a short while they could just have fun away from the hospital and celebrate being together at the holiday time.
