Transportation
- BART - Use the Pleasant Hill station, and look for the party entrance on Treat Blvd. You'll see us through the glass windows - can't miss us!
- Driving? We have FREE underground parking on Sunne Lane. As you enter Sunne Lane from Treat Blvd, the entrance will be on your right. It's a short walk within the building (which we'll aim to mark with signs) to get from the garage to our party.
If the underground parking described above is full (garage capacity is 80), the underground parking *across the street* on Sunne Lane will also be available. At this "across the street" garage, you must remove your car by 10 pm (party officially ends at 9 pm).
Free parking is also available at the Pleasant Hill BART station.
Payment
Bring checks/cash (preferred) to buy raffle tickets, birdie supplies, holiday gifts, silent auction items, bake sale items, etc! We will also have a limited ability to take credit cards via Square, and a laptop to take PayPal payments.
Dress code
If you would like to dress up for the occasion (many of us enjoy doing so), you're welcome to! Casual attire is also ok.
Birds
We will have a small quarantine room set aside to facilitate the transportation of any foster birds in transit. Birds are NOT allowed in the main party area. If you plan on taking advantage of this, please email pr@mickaboo.org so we can make sure we will have enough room for all our feathered friends.
Bring
- Party attendees always relish our potluck. Mickaboo will supply a "core offering" of vegetarian / vegan / gluten-free dishes. Potluck items can be anything (and it will ALL be labeled) *except* fowl (for obvious reasons).
- Bake sale items are also welcome!
- If you are bringing a dish or serving utensils and want to make sure it gets back to you (lost-and-found always being a challenge), please put alabel with your name on your item. Our registration desk volunteers will try to remind you about your "stuff" as you exit, but sometimes the memory doesn't quite work until we get home...
- Have you saved feathers for Art for the Birds? Bring them! Put them in your car (or by the door) now! We'll have a box at the registration desk.
- Have you saved empty inkjet cartridges, old cell phones, or other small electronics for Mickaboo's recycling fundraising? Bring them! We'll have a (separate) box at the registration desk.
- Bring your older clothing for our first-ever clothing drive! The donation truck will be present 5:30 - 7:00 pm, in the garage behind our party. Tax receipts given on the spot!
- Just like at many of San Francisco's and San Jose's stores, please bring your own bag for your purchases. We'll have some on hand... maybe not enough...

Email any questions to pr@mickaboo.org. We look forward to seeing all of you!
We have raised so far $2,634 toward our $30,000 fundraising goal! Thank you for your generosity during this season of giving - it truly makes a difference to the lives of our foster flock, and to the many volunteers who care for them. And giving during this Challenge Grant time makes your gift go further!
Your collective generosity resulted in a total of donations and matching gifts of $21K - more than our $20K fundraising goal! The vet bills keep coming, so going over THIS goal is great news! We at Mickaboo are deeply humbled and thankful for your generosity.
With just about an hour left in today's fundraising event, here is the latest update. 
There's almost $25K in matching funds still left! Let's use it up for the birds!
