Tickets to participate in West Valley Gives are $25 per person or $15 for children 6 to 12 years old. Children 5 and under are free; seniors and military are $15 per person.

The West Valley Gives committee was created based on a shared desire to showcase charitable efforts in the West Valley. Once this new committee was organized, members unanimously chose Treasure House as its first nonprofit recipient. Treasure House, co-founded by Kurt and Brenda Warner, is scheduled to open in January 2018.
