EVENTS: HOLIDAY PARTY

The Annual holiday party for young children with physical disabilities from across the Los Angeles Unified School District is the heart of the Fund. This event is how the Fulfillment Fund began over 30 years ago. Today the event is produced by Fulfillment Fund mentor-student teams and college scholars and is held at the UCLA James West Alumni Center usually on the first Friday in December. Generally such acts like the Bob Baker Marionettes, special characters from major studios in Hollywood, The Mighty Echoes a capella doo-wop group, the Mums, the Moorpark College Exotic Animals and of course, Santa Claus, are all featured on this special day.
