Creating Hope Through Experiences.
At the Livwell Foundation, we believe that through meaningful events, we can help break the cycle of poverty by exposing families and kids to enriching experiences and hope for a brighter future.
Thanksmas
Thanksmas is our annual holiday celebration—a signature event that brings joy and hope to hundreds of families. What began as a small gathering has grown into a vibrant community experience where families enjoy exciting rides, free food, gifts, and so much more. Thanksmas is more than an event—it’s a day of smiles, connection, and unforgettable memories for students and families across our community.
Kickstart
Kickstart is our annual Back-to-School initiative designed to ensure every student starts the year prepared and confident. Unlike traditional drives that happen before school begins, we wait two weeks into the school year so social workers and counselors can identify students who missed out on other back-to-school events. Once they share the names of students in need, we step in—purchasing and providing brand-new shoes to those who need them most. Kickstart primarily serves Title I schools in Chandler, working closely with educators, families, and administrators to make sure no child is left behind.
Touch a Truck
Touch a Truck is one of our most exciting community events, giving families the chance to climb inside real trucks, honk the horn, and experience the thrill of being behind the wheel! It’s a hands-on, interactive day filled with fun and laughter—a perfect way for families to spend time together before the summer heat kicks in. This event creates unforgettable memories and brings the community closer through unique experiences.
Lunch for Love
Lunch for Love is an annual event where we bring together our partners and donors to celebrate their belief in our mission and their continued support. It’s our way of saying thank you and showing appreciation for the impact they help us create. During this event, we also share exciting plans for the upcoming year, giving them a glimpse of what’s ahead and how their partnership will continue to make a difference.
