Valley businesses are coming together to raise money
for the Children's Museum of Phoenix.
It is the annual Yelp Sleigh Ground event,
and Desiree Fluellen lets us know what to expect.
Good evening, you guys. We're here at the Phoenix Children's Museum
and they're teaming up with Yelp to bring the Valley a fabulous night,
fashion, fun, food. We're talking everything, Gretel,
Francesca with the Yelp team and Isaiah with the museum.
What is this night all about?
Yes, Yelp Playground is our annual Yelper party,
which is our biggest event of the year.
It's a fundraising event benefiting the Children's Museum
of Phoenix, as well as a celebration of all things local.
It's an incredible opportunity for local businesses
to get their products directly in front of the
consumers and showcase what they do best.
It is free to attend with a suggested donation of $25,
just RSVP on Yelp.
You do have to be 21 and older and
This year's theme is Yelp's Sleigh Ground, where style meets play.
I love that.
So this year, we're spicing things up
a little different with a fashion show from Diva Den.
That's awesome.
But then as we walk down the line, too,
we're also seeing a lot of other interesting vendors.
Francesca, who do we have?
Yeah, so on top of Diva Den,
who is our main sponsor for the fashion show,
we have some local eats like Fairytale Brownies,
who's going to be serving up some awesome
Belgian chocolate brownies, local to the Valley.
We've got Kasai.
From Scottsdale, who's going to be bringing
a really fun kind of hibachi vibe to our patio over here.
I love that.
And then on the other side, kind of looping in the fashion aspect
and the fashion show, outfitting our models with nails.
Yes, our models are going to be dressed head to toe, including all
the way down to their nails with Alux over here, who's going to be...
Putting some nails on all of our models.
Okay, I love that.
And then we've got Outlaw Distillery as well,
right in Tempe, providing some whiskey tastings.
And then last but not least, a little bit more dessert.
Yes, we have a Becca Moore, which is a gluten-free and vegan bakery.
Okay, so Isaiah, you have been here
with the museum for about five years.
Where does this money go from a fundraising night like this?
Yes, this money goes directly to our Every Child program.
That benefits families who have children who go to Title I schools.
We have schools, families with veterans and their families,
families with children with
special needs.
All those families are affected
by that and it goes directly back into the community.
So that's really what we want to do.
All right, incredible.
So, you know, there is no cost to a ticket,
but that donation, as you just heard, going
to children all throughout the Valley
so they can experience the museum.
We'll send it back to you.
