Building Families for Children

06/01/2026

To every foster parent who joined us for the 2026 Foster Parent Appreciation Dinner, thank you.

You give so much of yourselves every single day. Your compassion, your patience, and your commitment to the children in your care does not go unnoticed. We see you and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do.

We hope the evening gave you a chance to breathe, to connect with others who understand the road you are on, and to feel the appreciation you so deeply deserve.

Thank you for being the steady presence that changes the trajectory of a child’s life.

We want to give a huge shoutout to UHY and their UHY Connect Leadership Program.

As part of their UHY Cares initiative, their students came together and donated stuffed animals to the children we serve. These young people chose to spend part of their leadership experience giving back and they chose us. That means everything.

To the students, staff and everyone at UHY who made this happen, thank you. The children who receive these will feel the love behind them.

This is what partnership looks like.

As National Foster Care Month comes to a close we want to say thank you.

To everyone who shared. Who showed up. Who gave. Who simply paid attention when it would have been easier to look away.

That is what changes things. That is what changes lives.

We are grateful for every single person who stood with us this month. The work continues and so do we.

We are still smiling.

When we set a goal of $35,000 we believed in what this community could do. And then you showed up and reminded us that when people come together for something that truly matters there is no limit to what is possible.

$45,964 raised at the Ignite Hope Benefit Dinner.

Every single dollar goes toward children and families right here in Maryland who need someone in their corner. That is what you did on Saturday night. You became that someone.

From every child and family we serve thank you for believing in this work the way we do.

Before the first guest arrived, this team was already there.

Setting up tables, arranging place cards, hanging signage and making sure every single detail was ready for the evening. They showed up on a Friday night because they believed in what Saturday was going to mean.

This is the setup crew and none of it happens without them.

Thank you for giving your time and making the Ignite Hope Benefit Dinner everything it was.

None of Saturday night happens without our volunteers.

Every detail that came together, every guest that felt welcomed, every moment that ran smoothly. That was because of the people who gave their time and energy before anyone else arrived and long after the evening ended.

We see you. We appreciate you more than words can say. Thank you for serving alongside us and for caring about this mission the way you do.

Saturday night was something special and it was because of you.

To everyone who showed up in person, donated, placed bids on auction items, and cheered us on from home thank you. You showed up for something bigger than yourself and it made all the difference.

We are so grateful for every single person who was part of this evening!

Right now there are children in your community who are in the foster care system.

Not because they were unloved. Because their family needed help and did not have enough of it.

Prevention changes that. Support changes that. You change that.

Get involved this month and be part of the solution for children who are still waiting for someone to show up.
