Our 2025 Growing the Village is Sweet Campaign raised over $20,000 this year and we are SO amazed by the creative and passionate effort of dozens of families across Southwest Florida. The finale of our campaign was a celebration for foster, adoptive, and reunified families to celebrate the kick-off of summer. This year's Lemonade Luau was hosted by Summit Church at their University Campus. We were ecstatic to pour out so much love, fun, and summer goodies to hundreds experiencing the child welfare system. It was a village effort, as always, because we couldn't do this without the heart and dedication of several community partners. Despite the rain, our families had a blast and we want to thank the following supporters for making the event a total success
