WELCOME TO THE

PETER PAN FOUNDATION

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire children of all ages to reach their full potential. Through our unique music and theater productions, we help children build confidence, character, and creativity while instilling the value of community outreach and philanthropy.

OUR PHILANTHROPY

The Peter Pan Foundation brings a spirit of philanthropy to everything we do.

The heart of the PPF is about giving back to those in need, our community, and the world while also enriching the lives of our participants through music and theater.
Participants in our various productions learn confidence, creativity, empathy, and how to help others. All the while, becoming part of a loving and supportive environment; one that helps foster positive self-image and lifelong friendships.

We especially focus on bringing magic and support to patients at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, Make-A-Wish kids, and kids with special needs.

We have raised over $200,000 for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland

And helped grant over 100 wishes, visited and performed for thousands of patients and audience members, and had thousands of participants!
We are dedicated to forever finding ways to always be and to help inspire the world to be the most giving, loving, inclusive, anti-racist, inspiring safe space we can be.

About Our Productions

While we love to create magical performances and are blessed with amazingly talented performers, The Peter Pan Foundation is a non-profit philanthropic organization, not a theater company.
Funding for our philanthropic efforts comes in large part from the proceeds of our performances. Musical theater is a vehicle that helps drive our foundation.

Each year we produce several performances. 

Our annual Wish Upon a Star extravaganza, now in its 15th year, features eight performances with more than 200 performers of all ages.
This magical tale is our signature show, performed annually on Memorial Day weekend at Diablo Valley College and is not to be missed.

In addition to our annual show, the PPF also performs other musical theater productions and musical performances throughout the year. 

Some past productions include Seussical, In The Heights, The Wizard of Oz, Guys & Dolls, High School Musical, and an original holiday show, ‘Twas the Opening Night Before Christmas. The PPF also hosts a monthly cabaret night, where performers of their ages can come and perform pieces of their own selection.

Help Make A Difference

PPF helps young hearts to fly through Philanthropy, performing, teen leadership, volunteering, hospital visits, online interactions, inclusion events, teaching, and learning endless opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others!

"It is always a good day when you are able to make a kid’s day a little more special. I have been with the PPF for a little over a year now. In that short amount of time, I’ve met some awesome people and made some friends. One of my favorite things is to be able to brighten up the days and lives of so many children."
