WeeBoogie, a division of Playgroups USA, provides a fantastic music events for young children and their parents while supporting local non-profits at the same time! By the time children enter school at age 5 or 6, the most important time for them to develop their music listening vocabularies has passed. Yet, children that attend a WeeBoogie event will experience music and dance as our
Disc Jockies spin great songs while the kids shake their maracas,
thump tambourines and boogie to the music.
“We hope our children’s fundraising events, WeeBoogie, will continue to engage
the community with our mission to inspire parents to encourage music and dance
early in a childs life while also supporting local, non-profits that serve young families.”
says Jodi Van Lom, Co-founder of Playgroups USA.
WeeBoogie is more than just a great way for parents/caregivers to enjoy a fun music experience with their children - it’s a way to give back.

Playgroups USA Kid Jams 'Summer to Remember' Children's Concert a Huge Success |
Playgroups USA Kid Jam Children’s Concert has better than expected attendance and raises money for Trillium Family Services
Portland, OR, September 17th, 2007 -- Hundreds of kids and adults attended the first Playgroups USA Kid Jams Children’s Benefit Concert ready to dance, sing, laugh and learn at the Portland Children’s Museum on September 15th, 2007.
The children in attendance thoroughly enjoyed Penny the Puppeteer’s opening act, ‘Celebrate!’, as Frank the Mouse hosted a silly cast of characters with music and dance. Then, singer/songwriter Nancy Stewart performed her award winning music with brightly colored bags of instruments and props that really got the audience singing and dancing. Event sponsors managed fantastic booth displays and made huge efforts to bring tremendous value to the event. It truly was an experience the whole family enjoyed!
Proceeds from the Kid Jams event benefited Trillium Family Services. Trillium Family Services is one of Oregon's most comprehensive providers of mental health services for children and families with therapy programs to address most mental health needs.
A special thank-you to all of our event sponsors, staff and volunteers!
