Thank you to everyone who dressed up, danced, donated, and helped make the night such a success.

A smile can mean more than we realize. 💙
Recently, Child Saving Institute received a donation of "Smile Bags" through Spirited Smiles, a project created by .snodderly to help children feel seen, valued, and cared for.

Filled with fun and thoughtful items, these bags are a reminder that while basic needs are essential, feeling loved and supported matters, too. Through community fundraising and partnerships, Spirited Smiles helps bring moments of joy to children navigating difficult circumstances.

Thank you, Allie, for your compassion and for sharing kindness in such a meaningful way. ✨

Recently, we partnered with Natalie Hogge and the NeXT Foundation to host Heal With Us, a trauma-informed gathering designed for survivors of domestic violence. Together, participants explored meditation, watercolor, and poetry as pathways to healing, connection, and self-expression.

We are so grateful to Natalie for sharing her time, expertise, and creativity, including a beautiful painting created especially for Child Saving Institute.

This event is a reminder that healing is not a destination. It's a journey, and no one should have to walk it alone.

It's hard to believe summer is already coming to an end. ☀️🍪

To celebrate all the fun we've shared over the past few months, our center kiddos enjoyed a cookie decorating party packed with creativity, laughter, and a little extra frosting.

As some children begin new adventures and all of our classrooms settle into a new season, we're thankful for the memories made and the joyful moments that make childhood so special. 💙

What kind of legacy do you want to leave?

For many families, creating a will provides peace of mind and an opportunity to support the causes closest to their hearts.

A planned gift to Child Saving Institute can create lasting impact for future generations, helping children and families access the resources they need to thrive.

This Make-A-Will Month, consider how your values can continue making a difference long into the future💙
