In existence for 79 years, the Active 20-30 Club of Napa is part of a national and international community service organization for men and women dedicated to helping children in local communities. Through community projects and fundraisers, the Active 20-30 Club of Napa contributes both time and money to the community in support of children in the Napa Valley. The Club organizes free community events each year including a Fishing Derby, an Easter Egg Hunt at Kennedy Park, and Fun Fest. Our biggest hands-on project, Project Santa, is an annual gift-giving project for mentally, physically or financially disadvantaged children. Additionally, each year the Club awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

May 3rd - George Carl Kids Fishing Derby
Lake Hennessey
Another free community event, this long-standing tradition began 40 years ago to introduce the sport of fishing to young people. Today, it has blossomed into a day of good–old fashioned family fun. Children ages 3-16 have from 6:00 until noon to catch the biggest fish they can. Club members and other volunteers are on hand to help less experienced fishers. Prizes are given for different age groups and different species of fish and EVERY child goes home with a prize for participating.
May 16th - Fun Fest and Community Picnic
Fun Fest is a youth activities fair promoting activities—from sports to science and everything in between—to children, encouraging them to be active and involved. Along with information, local clubs and businesses bring equipment to give kids a hands-on chance to test their skills or try something new. We also have old fashioned picnic games such as gunny sack races and egg tosses. This event is free to the public and will be held at the Napa Valley College Football field from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.

December - Project Santa
For more than 30 years, the Active 20-30 Club of Napa has been purchasing clothes and toys for local underprivileged children through our Project Santa. Typically, we supply gifts to about 150 children at various elementary and pre-schools in Napa County. The club, and Santa Claus, visit schools catering to children with special physical or severe financial need. Each child receives warm weather clothing and a toy purchased specifically for them and is invited to sit on Santa’s lap for a special photo.
