Ugly Sweater Fundraiser and Party

It’s sweater season at Communities In Schools of Kalamazoo and we’re delighted to host our ninth annual Ugly Sweater event. Each year we gather in our ugliest of sweaters to bring awareness to our whole child approach of supporting students. This approach includes providing essentials such as warm winter-wear and supplies – just one of the dozens of ways that CIS supports kids in Kalamazoo.

This year’s theme is our take on Hollywood’s red carpet. The tagline for Ugly Sweater 2023 is: The sweaters have stolen the show. We are planning to roll out the “red carpet” for our sweater sponsors, party guests, and donors.

The ugly sweater season will include: a silent auction, sweater voting, and a party finale on December 5th. Live entertainment from Yolonda Lavender and The Crew along with a taco bar will be provided (while supplies last). Beverages are available for purchase.

Ugly Sweater Party: December 5th

Join us at this year's fundraiser event at Bell's Brewery on Tuesday, December 5th from 5:30p.m. - 8:00p.m. Tickets are available for pre-purchase and a limited number will be available at the door.
