Join us on May 10 for an Epic Celebration: 

As we're less than a month away from our 25th Annual Gala & Auction, we're excited to present  "Faces of Permanency"  as this year's theme, highlighting its importance across all of our programs. Just scroll up to see the very faces of this movement! Sadly these youth are just several of thousands in MA waiting for families of their own. 

For those us who are blessed with an unconditional, permanent circle of support: can you imagine what your life would be like without it? 

On May 10, we will recognize the significance of permanency in a child's potential to thrive. We will rally around the need to ensure forever connections for our youth and all human beings. G et ready for a unique blend of inspiring stories, nostalgic moments, and fresh twists on years-old traditions!
