For the ninth consecutive year, Westerlay Orchids is proud to announce its ongoing partnership with the Carpinteria Unified School District. From August 24th to 29th, the family-owned orchid grower will donate 100% of all profits from its retail showroom directly to CUSD in support of local students and schools.

In 2025, the same initiative raised more than $26,900, and Westerlay is optimistic about matching or exceeding that amount this year. This community-driven effort continues to reflect Westerlay’s deep-rooted commitment to supporting community and education in Carpinteria and the surrounding areas. In the past this fundraiser has helped to make field trips happen, STEM programs at Aliso School, library upgrades at Canalino School and purchasing equipment for a cutting edge engineering program at Carpinteria High School.

Proceeds from the week-long fundraiser will help fund vital enrichment activities for field trips throughout the year for Carpinteria Middle School students.

Westerlay Orchids’ showroom, located at 3504 Via Real in Carpinteria, is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Shoppers will find an array of exquisite orchids, including Westerlay’s signature cascading and bramble arrangements.
