Save the Date! November 7, 2025

The annual Helping Kids Thrive benefit luncheon is KidVantage’s signature fundraising event, held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. Now in its 15th year of bringing together the community to help kids, the event’s success is critical to our ability to keep kids fed, safe, and warm.  

Join the Thrive Team!

The Thrive Benefit luncheon brings together our community through volunteering, hosting a table or sponsoring the event. 

We invite you to become a part of the Thrive team for 2025!
