Join us as we celebrate the Heart of the Valley—the farmers, farmworkers, and families who cultivated this land and built a legacy of strength, dedication, and community.

Honoring Farmers and Farm Workers

Help us honor the farmers and farm workers who built this community from the ground up!

We are paying homage at our annual fundraiser, “The Heart of the Valley” on October 11, to the local agricultural families and farm workers who’ve made a lasting impact on Gilroy’s history—and we don’t want to miss anyone.

If your family—or someone you know—has roots in Gilroy agriculture and a story worth sharing, we’d love to include them in our celebration.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for “The Heart of the Valley.” Your support enables us to continue funding scholarships, community grants, and programs that invest in the future of our community and celebrate the hardworking families and workers who have built it.
