Supporting Kids & Art Foundation

Summer Grooves benefits Kids & Art Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children and families navigate the emotional challenges of pediatric cancer and other critical medical conditions through creativity and the arts.

Founded in 2008, Kids & Art uses the power of artmaking, creativity, and connection to help children mitigate the stress, anxiety, and trauma that can come with diagnosis and treatment.

The organization reaches nearly 8,000 children and families each year through in-person programming in the San Francisco Bay Area and Amaeyzing ArtKits™, designed by artists and distributed to children’s hospitals and patient homes nationwide.

The Midway, Nonprofits, and Community Connection

At The Midway, supporting nonprofit organizations and community-driven events is part of the venue’s broader role in San Francisco’s creative and civic ecosystem.

Beyond hosting conferences, concerts, corporate gatherings, and cultural events, The Midway works with nonprofits, artists, local businesses, and community groups to create events that foster connection, visibility, and meaningful impact.

As Dogpatch continues to grow as one of San Francisco’s most active creative and technology neighborhoods, partnerships between venues, nonprofits, and surrounding businesses play an increasingly important role in sustaining local culture and strengthening community ties.

Events like Summer Grooves reflect that spirit by bringing together art, music, philanthropy, and local collaboration in a way that feels distinctly San Francisco.
