This year, we celebrated Foster Hope Day in a BIG way, raising an astonishing $2.07M to close out the Coalition’s two-year, $10M capital campaign. Now, we can move into our new headquarters, from which we will serve 100% of children entering foster care, quadruple the number of foster parents, and much more!
We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the Berges Family Foundation, who tripled all Foster Hope Day gifts. We’d like to say a big “Thank you!” to them for supporting our mission and vision.
More than 900 donations were made on Foster Hope Day as our supporters rallied around our mission and entered to win fabulous raffle prizes. Between our Coalition families, staff, and board/junior board members, there were a total of 14 teams that raised more than $83,800. Way to go, teams!
We were also so excited to welcome hundreds of guests to our new headquarters during our Partner Appreciation Power Hour and Pre-construction Party. Together, we enjoyed delicious food and drink, entertainment, and a special blueprint tour of our new home.
Our dedicated staff and volunteers put in so much hard work to make Foster Hope Day possible. They filled every hour with fun, laughter, and excitement.
On November 14th, our community proved that it believes in the mission of the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition and launched us to success. Because of your generosity, we will accomplish more in the next five years than we have in the past 35. Thank you.
