The Novel Carnival

We’re thrilled to extend an invitation to the third annual Valencia Associate Board’s fundraiser!

Get ready for an unforgettable evening at this year’s Novel Carnival Fun-draiser, happening on Tuesday, June 4 at El Rio. Dive into bookish carnival activities, explore a treasure trove of free, hand-picked books courtesy of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, and most importantly, show your support for 826 Valencia. Grab your ticket, bring along a bag, and join in on the excitement!

The fundraiser, hosted by the Associate Board will feature carnival-themed cocktails and treats, a live DJ, a photo booth sponsored by Snap Fiesta, and a silent auction featuring donations from numerous San Francisco businesses, including Heath Ceramics, Shuggie’s Trash Pie, and Barry’s Bootcamp!

Best of all, every penny raised directly supports 826 Valencia’s free writing, tutoring, and publishing programs, which serves more than 5,000 students in under-resourced communities in San Francisco. See you there!

*Please note, this is a 21+ (w/ID) event.*
