Forestdale Benefit 2024

Our Benefit celebrates Forestdale graduates from our Strong Futures program. Many foster youths have overcome tremendous challenges and losses. Yet they’ve become valedictorians, received academic awards, entered prestigious universities, community colleges, and technical schools, or advanced from undergraduate to graduate courses. We are so thankful that our educational specialists, therapists, caseworkers, life coaches, and pediatricians have been beside them every step.
Forestdale also celebrates our parent and caregiver graduates in parenting support programs: Strong Fathers,  Strong Mothers, and Preventive Services. We help them overcome trauma, gain tools to become better parents, and access resources to support goals for themselves and their children. They have stepped forward to become the parents they want to be, ensuring better futures for themselves and their families. Your generosity funds our work with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents at crucial moments in their lives.
