🥨 One night, one big purpose. Bids for Kids is back, Oktoberfest style! 🥨
Join us for steins, pretzels, a silent auction, and a live band, we’ll even keep the dance floor open late! 🎉
The Celebration: Doors open at 5:00 PM. Steins are raised, pretzels are passed, and the silent auction opens as the room fills with friends old and new. Bavarian music, a beer garden-inspired experience, and the full Oktoberfest spirit! 🇩🇪
The Purpose: As dinner is served, we will be inducting two Hall of Fame honorees. Willie Naulls, honored posthumously, who went from the San Pedro Boys Club to the heights of professional basketball and never forgot where he started and Gary Herrera, former President of ILWU Local 13, turned his Club kid beginnings into a lifetime of labor and community leadership. Then paddles rise! The live auction and Back-a-Kid appeal then turn one night of celebration into a year of meals, mentors, and open doors for Harbor area youth. 🏆
The Party: Our live band takes the stage, the dance floor opens, and the night rolls into the afterparty. Stay late. You'll be in good company! 💃
What to Wear: Festive cocktail attire or traditional Oktoberfest. Dirndls, lederhosen, and Bavarian-inspired fashion encouraged, but not required.
Purchase your tickets or find out more, Bids for Kids: Oktoberfest is here! 💙
