On the last day of National Adoption Month, more than 200 people came out to our fundraising gala! We are beyond grateful for their generous support.
Our tremendous appreciation to: sponsors, board, staff (CAP and Riverside Productions), emcee, volunteers, cash call participants, musicians, silent auction donors, photographers, videographers, media, and everyone who stepped in to lend a hand. Your support helps us to make a difference in the lives of children waiting in foster care.

Spunky and resilient, Kalysa came to speak at last month's Heart Gallery event, and won over our hearts!
Kalysa is a kind and caring teen, loyal and affectionate, and empathetic to others.
She likes music, cats and dogs and would love to be in a home with animals. She is interested in having younger siblings, although might do well as an only child. She hopes to belong to a family who will love her, support and believe in her, and guide her as she grows.
