Change the Story: An Evening for Child Advocacy

Need a Refresher on Auction Bidding? Click HERE!

Please join us on Thursday, April 18th as we gather again to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of those devoted to our mission and to changing the story for children and families. We proudly announce that The Kind Family will receive the 2024 Judge Lois G. Forer Child Advocacy Award. Their individual support and involvement, along with the support and funding priorities of the Patricia Kind Family Foundation and the van Ameringen Foundation, continue to speak to the very mission of Child Advocates. We are thankful for their longtime belief in our work, and their steadfast support of other Philadelphia organizations focused on racial justice, economic equality, and access to mental health services for individuals from underserved communities.

We will also celebrate the journeys of Amya-Cassidy B. and Kalid R. as this year's 
Andi Broad Distinguished Clients, and we will recognize all of our 2024 Distinguished Advocates for Children.

Proceeds from the event will help us to support the nearly 1000 young people we represent each year, and the thousands more we assist through training programs and policy advocacy.

Children like Angela.
