Thank You To All Of Our Wonderful Supporters
Who Made Our 15 Year Celebration A Success!
On October 13th, KIDS for the BAY celebrated their 15
Years of inspiring the next generation of environmentalists
at the Montclair Women's Cultural Arts Club!
It was wonderful evening, celebrating with donors, funders,
friends, family, past and current teachers and students!
Our Executive Director and Founder, Mandi Billinge, gave
an inspiring speech looking back on the success of the
past 15 years and gave the
audience a glimpse of our bright future with unveiling
our new program, Urban Wilderness Classroom (link to click
on for full speech).
KIDS for the BAY was proud to honor two classes for their
outstanding action projects with our Environmental Excellence
Award:
- Betty Buginas' 4th/5th Grade Class at Castro Elementary
* Student Representative: Mike Jerez
- Stephanie Kroll's 4th Grade Class at Rodeo Hills Elementary
* Student Representatives: Cora Concannon and Mika Ella

KIDS for the BAY also proudly presented Leilani Alo with
the Environmental Leadership Award for her years of incredible
leadership in supporting KIDS for the BAY.
Afterward, everyone was delighted to be entertained by
our very own Education Director Shefali Shah's performance
with Cacique y Kongo, an Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba Music
and Dance Ensemble!
We then wrapped up the night by dancing to music by DJ
