Valentine’s Day Bread Winners
If you’ve heard of ‘singing for your supper’ you may appreciate knowing that one of the biggest fundraisers for California chorus groups is Singing Valentines. For a fee they’ll sing to someone you love. It happens all over the state but is especially popular in the Bay Area and Gold Country on Valentine’s Day plus several days leading up to it. When you know that money goes to a good cause, it makes the gift even sweeter.
Another type of breadwinner is the local zoo. Wise owls know that people are naturally curious animals when it comes to courtship rituals and displays of affection. Los Angeles Zoo’s ‘Sex and the City Zoo’ is one example of Valentine’s Day zoo entertainment and education to be had through observation. And it’s all so natural.
Not limited to songs and courtship displays, fundraisers run the gamut on Valentine’s Day. From a bulldog beauty contest in Long Beach to Pacific Grove’s Together with Love Run/Walk, Feb. 14 is a day of giving from the heart.
