Festival of Trees 2017
Our 34th annual Festival of Trees was a huge success.
Over 150 guests enjoyed the holiday boutique and luncheon at the University Club in Palo Alto. Several of our students brought “The Man in the Arena” by Theodore Roosevelt to life for us which was a special treat. Sharon Barkoff, our guest chef, demonstrated the art of making German chocolate cupcakes for the holidays. This year half of the net proceeds from Festival of Trees will be deposited in the AchieveKids endowment fund, ensuring our programs are built to last for years to come!

In honor of Autism Awareness Month in April, AchieveKids and the Pacific Autism Center for Education co-hosted a screening of “Swim Team”, an award-winning film that chronicles the challenges and triumphs of 3 young athletes with autism and shows how a swim team can bring hope to a community.
