Throughout the year, we host only two annual fundraisers, aptly named MEDLEY and FUSION. We are a medley of artists, makers, and creatives coming together in fusion—not just to build up our creative community, but to strengthen the greater communities around us.

For MEDLEY this year on Friday April 10, 2026, we’re throwing a variety show—but not just any variety show. You’ll experience live musical performances, hear stories directly from our artists, and enjoy short-form artistic acts, all while immersed in a Battle of the Brushes. MEDLEY is our intimate fundraising gathering each April, has a limited number of tickets available this year to maximize inclusivity and interactivity between the audience and the acts.

TREE TOGA — 9am Saturday, April 25 at Pitney Meadows!

Tree Toga is a beloved, family-friendly tradition that brings our community together to make a lasting impact.

Volunteers gather at Pitney Meadows to learn the art of bare-root tree planting, sing our catchy planting song, and snap a group photo before heading out. With guidance from our Lead Planters, teams spread out across the city to help transform our streets into a greener paradise. This year's kick-off gathering will feature a drumming circle with EarthBeat Music!

By lunchtime, the trees are in the ground, the city is a little leafier, and it’s time to celebrate a job well done at a local pub!

Sign-up to volunteer:
