Anybody can be involved in this simple, social game while also learning about the great work of BUILD. Register yourself as a solo player (we'll match y...ou up at the event) or create a team of four-six friends (get creative on team names and uniforms are encouraged!).

Your $75 registration fee includes entry in the bocce tournament, delicious Italian dinner, wine tastings from local vineyards and a $50 tax-deductable donation to benefit BUILD's programs for students in East Palo Alto.

BUILD is a four-year entrepreneurship program teaches low-income high school students to start and run small businesses while equipping them with the skills and confidence that propel them to college. We have had tremendous results with 100% of the students who have gone through the four year program enrolling in college.
