Imagine your team, your family or your crew sitting together on Nov 9, hearing 10 Sacramento nonprofits pitch, and then each person deciding where your gift goes.

That’s Fast Pitch Credits. You pre-donate a pool of funds, everyone in your group gets credits to give, and after the pitches they direct them to the nonprofits that moved them most. Easy team giving, a great way to show kids what generosity looks like, and a night where everyone has a say.

Watch Fast Pitch your way, no theater seat required.

On November 9, 10 Sacramento nonprofits take the stage at the Sofia to pitch their missions live. The Watch Party lets you catch every moment without staying in a theater seat for the whole night.

Stand, stretch, grab a snack, step out with the kids and come back in time for the next pitch. You stay close to the action and can move around whenever you need to. It’s a good fit for families, for anyone who’d rather not sit for hours, and for anyone who just likes to keep moving.

Fast Pitch is one of Sacramento’s biggest nights for local giving, and we want the whole community there for it. Tickets are going fast, so grab yours before they’re gone.

📅 Monday, Nov 9 · Doors at 5:30 PM
📍 The Sofia, Home of B Street Theatre

We’re excited to introduce the final member of our Fast Pitch 2026 cohort: Effie Yeaw Nature Center!

For more than 50 years, it has welcomed the Sacramento community to explore, learn, and connect with the natural world. Through school programs, nature day camps, adult learning, and special events, they inspire curiosity and environmental stewardship in visitors of all ages, whether they’re walking oak woodland trails, spotting deer and salmon along the river, or learning about California’s Indigenous cultures.

Bring your people. Let them choose. 🎤

This year’s Fast Pitch nonprofits have spent months sharpening their story for November 9, and now your whole crew can help fund it.

New this year: Fast Pitch Credits. You pre-donate a pool of funds, and your employees, team or family each get credits to give. After hearing the finalists pitch, every guest gives their credits to the Sacramento nonprofits that move them most.

It’s easy team giving for companies, a fun way to show kids what giving back looks like, and a night out where everyone in your group makes a real difference.

📅 Mon, Nov 9 · The Sofia Theater
🕠 VIP Reception 4:30 PM · Doors 5:30 PM

Reserve your credits by Friday, Oct 30. Download the form at svpsacramento.org/events/svp-fast-pitch-2026 and email it to [email protected].

See you at the Sofia! 💙
