Yolo Philanthropy Awards 2025

Please join us for the annual Yolo Philanthropy Awards, sponsored by Nugget Markets, as we celebrate and honor those who make a significant impact in Yolo County. 38 local nonprofits are coming together to recognize volunteers and donors who make our community a better place. Join us for an honoree presentation and reception at the Veterans Memorial Theatre and Center (203 E 14th St., Davis, CA).

The event will begin in the Theatre with doors opening at 4:30pm and the program starting promptly at 5:00pm. This will be followed by a celebration and reception in the Center.

Tickets are expected to sell out again this year. If/when tickets sell out, a waitlist option will become available.

We want to recognize that this event is made possible by our title sponsor Nugget Markets, as well as supporting sponsors Recology, Edward Jones Office of Matt Yancey, and the Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund.
