Thank You for a Wonderful CATS Fundraising Dinner
November 7, 2026 | Sunnyvale
On Saturday evening, November 7, families, friends, and supporters of CompassPoint Mentorship gathered in Sunnyvale for our CATS Fundraising Dinner. From 5 to 8 PM, the evening brought our community together around good food, warm conversation, and a first look at the student performers preparing for CATS the Musical.

A table full of community
The dinner was a true group effort. Thanks to everyone who cooked and helped set up, the buffet table filled with noodles, savory dishes, sweets, and trays of fresh melon and watermelon. Guests of every age lined up together, and the room quickly filled with the easy conversation that comes from sharing a meal.

A first look at the stage
The highlight of the night was our students. Our young performers gave guests a mini performance and a first look at the music and characters they have been rehearsing for months. For many families, it was the first chance to see the cast perform together before opening weekend. Seeing them work together as a team is exactly why we do this.

Supporting our students and the show
The dinner supported our youth group's production of CATS the Musical, coming to Sunnyvale Theatre on November 28 and 29. Our goal for the evening was $3,000 for our students and the production: costumes, sets, theatre time, and the experience of putting on a real musical.
An evening like this one does more than raise funds. It gives families a chance to meet one another, connect with the volunteers behind the production, and see what their students have been working toward all season.
Thank you to everyone who cooked, came, donated, or shared the invitation. You made this night possible, and we hope to see you at the show!
