Proceeds of the Carnival and Marketplace go to Culver Y’s annual fundraising campaign to help children grow strong and become socially responsible. By ensuring families access to the fundamentals needed to learn, grow and thrive, the Y seeks to make good on its commitment to strengthen the foundations of the community.

A number of sponsors are helping with the event, among them, Pacific Alarm Systems, FastSigns, Miller Honda, Abbot’s Pizza, AAA Flag & Banner, John Riordon Plumbing, Merrill Lynch, Culver-Palms Animal Hospital, Hull Bros. Roofing, and the Ya Yas of Culver City.
