From celebrations honoring West Valley youth to programs that keep kids active and learning — our events bring the community together, and every family is welcome.
The flagship events Make Kids Matter hosts for children, families, and champions of youth across the West Valley.
Our signature evening celebrating the achievements of West Valley youth. We honor students, volunteers, and community champions who make a difference for kids — with awards, dinner, and inspiration for the year ahead.
Free basketball for West Valley kids — building teamwork, confidence, and healthy habits on the court. Open to all skill levels, with mentorship from coaches and community volunteers.
We’re always creating new ways to celebrate, support, and uplift West Valley kids and families. Follow us on Instagram and X @makekidsmatter, or sign up below to be the first to know when new events are announced.
Not every event lives on this page — here’s where to find the rest.
Events tied to our ongoing programs — family literacy workshops, reading nights, nutrition fairs, and life skills sessions — are listed on each program’s own page under our Literacy Programs.
Events hosted by our partners — other nonprofits, ASU student clubs, and local organizations serving West Valley families — are shared on our Community page. Working together makes every kid matter more.
